Charity car wash at Tisbury fire station this Saturday

Tuesday, 26 March 2024 00:00

A car wash is being held at Tisbury Fire Station this Saturday (30th March) in aid of the Fire Fighters Charity.

The event will run from 10 am to 2 pm at the fire station on The Avenue.

Firefighters will wash cars – and any other vehicles! – with both cash and card payments available.

Station commander Sarah Wheeler said: “The Fire Fighters Charity looks after everyone in the fire and rescue service, but they rely on fundraising to do this. We’re hoping to raise as much money as possible with this car wash, especially as it’s the Easter weekend.”

She added: “It’s also a chance to have a chat with us about being an on-call firefighter in Tisbury. We’re holding a couple of recruitment events at the end of April, so if you’re interested in helping the local community and earning some extra money, come and see us!”

The Fire Fighters Charity provides rehabilitation, recuperation and mental health support to all current and retired members of the fire and rescue service in the UK. More information can be found at www.firefighterscharity.org.uk
