Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service’s Training Centre employees have raised more than £3000 for charity following the Bonfire and Firework Display that took place at Washington Hall on Bonfire Night.
The annual bonfire was well attended this year and Washington Hall’s Welfare Committee decided to split the profits between two charities; The Legacy Rainbow House which received £1,300 and The Fire Fighters Charity who were given £1,854.25.
Last week, children and staff from The Legacy Rainbow House were presented with a cheque by Paul Briggs and Aimee Hindle at the Training Centre based in Chorley. After the presentation, the children then got to have a ride on a fire engine around the site and find out more about the Training Centre and the Service.
The Legacy Rainbow House specialises in providing services for children with brain injuries, disabilities and life limiting conditions from its centre of excellence, The Legacy. The Charity is currently creating and implementing new innovative services meeting the needs of children, young people and their families, via rehabilitation, therapy, education and recreation built on a philosophy known as Conductive Education.
The Fire Fighters Charity provides a range of services that enhance quality of life for injured serving and retired fire service personnel and their families.
