Southport firefighters
thank community for 'generous support' after raising £470 at charity
car wash
SOUTHPORT firefighters are offering
their thanks to the local community for helping them raise almost £500 at a
charity car wash.
Firefighters from Southport Community Fire Station White Watch, together
with fire cadets from Bootle and Netherton Fire Station, rolled up their
sleeves to wash cars on Sunday, 13 March 2016.
The event, which took place at Southport Community Fire Station on Albert
Road, was held to raise funds for The Fire Fighters Charity.
Watch Manager Steve Bousfield said:-
"We were absolutely thrilled with how many people came along to the car
wash and would like to thank the community and local agencies for their
generous support.Everyone involved had a great day and we were delighted to be able to
provide a service for the people of Southport while raising funds for a
vital cause.
The Fire Fighters Charity is very important to firefighters and the rest of
the firefighting community. It offers a range of valuable services including
rehabilitation to help injured firefighters get back to fitness, as well as
financial and emotional support. Everyone who came along to get their car
washed has helped make a positive difference to firefighters, Merseyside
Fire and Rescue Service staff, retired firefighters and their family members
in need."
The Fire Fighters is the leading provider
of advice, guidance, treatment and support for serving and retired fire
service personnel and their families.
