The latest intake of apprentice Firefighters from Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service will take part in a charity event where they will be virtually rowing the length of the River Thames that passes through Berkshire (38.5 miles) to raise money for The Fire Fighters Charity. This will be carried out in the Lexicon, Bracknell (near Boots) tomorrow, Saturday 12th October from 10am to 4pm.
There will also be fun family activities, a demonstration of how to carry out a five point winter safety check on your car, and a fire engine to explore.
Go and support the Firefighter apprentices in their challenge and any donations will be greatly appreciated. Donations to Fire Fighter Charity can be given on the day, or sponsor them here.
The Fire Fighters Charity is not just about firefighters. The Charity supports past and present fire and rescue service personnel, whatever their role, as well as spouses, families, and many other eligible individuals across a diverse community of around 300,000 people. The Charity’s role is therefore to ensure that it is there for them, for life, working as their health and wellbeing companion, supporting every aspect of their lives to ensure that they can be there for you when you need them.
