Charities
For over 80 years, Fire Fighters Charity has been here for the whole of the UK Fire and Rescue Service community.
The charity provides expert care, wellbeing support, practical support and information and advice whenever a member of the fire family may need help with their physical or mental health and wellbeing.
The charity is independent of the fire service and has caring and skilled staff who understand the unique needs of the fire family. Fire Fighters Charity’s range of care, support and advice is offered in confidence, in-person, online or by telephone – all through self-referral.
Fire service personnel can face significant pressures every day – whether attending incidents, taking calls or supporting frontline teams - so prioritising their health and wellbeing throughout their life is vitally important.
And that’s where the charity can help.
Whether it’s stress or anxiety - either due to circumstances at work or at home - an injury or illness, or the need to access benefits or financial support, the charity has a huge range of health and wellbeing services on offer.
The charity has three centres across the UK, including Harcombe House in Devon, which offer rehabilitation services and health and wellbeing programmes to beneficiaries. There are also facilities available there for private hire including a swimming pool, hydrotherapy pool, gym, meeting rooms, treatment rooms and more.
