Charity challenges

Firefighters do a sponsored run in BA kit It must be something to do with the values of the fire service, but at Avon Fire & Rescue Service many of our staff are dedicated to raising money for charity. They take part in a wide array of fundraising challenges, ranging from driving a Landrover over 4,000 miles on cooking oil, to cycling, canoeing and running across The Gambia.

Much of the fundraising is for GAFSIP - Gambia and Avon Fire Service in Partnership but there are other charity's close to Avon Fire & Rescue Service's heart, including the The Fire Fighters Charity

In this area you can find out all about challenges, listed on the left-hand-side.
