Who we are

Fire fighting can be dangerous, stressful and traumatic. When fire fighters suffer injury they can be laid up for months, in pain and unable to work. Dealing with life or death situations every day often takes its toll emotionally too. The Fire Fighters Charity is here for every one of the UK’s 65,000 serving fire fighters, fire service support staff – and their families. We are the UK’s leading provider of services that enhance quality of life for serving and retired firefighters, fire personnel and their families. Our vision is to make a positive difference by supporting people in the fire and rescue community when they are in need. Over the years, we have helped hundreds of thousands of individuals by providing world-class treatment and support services.

What we do

Our three rehabilitation centres help them get back on their feet after injury, trauma and problems in their lives. Serving and retired fire fighters can also call the trained advisers on our helpline for support with any issues, and our staff can visit fire fighters at home if solving their problem needs a more in-depth approach.

Why we need you

It costs over £9 million per year to keep the Charity running, and we are completely reliant upon donations and fundraising, so your support is very much needed. Help us keep fire fighters fit, healthy and happy so they can continue saving lives.
