“The Fire Fighters Charity carries out such important work and is a real lifeline for firefighters and their families in their hour of need, and we really wanted to be able to support them to continue to deliver this work.

“Lockdown has been very difficult for a lot of people, and charitable organisations have been hit hard by restrictions with many fundraisers being cancelled. We were so pleased to be able to host this event, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who came out to join us on the day.”
