Lincolnshire fire crews set up car washes to raise money for charity

Lincolnshire fire crews are holding charity car washes and other events this spring, to raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity.

A number of car washes are already planned in March with more being scheduled in the coming weeks.

Cllr Lindsey Cawrey, executive councillor for fire and rescue at the county council, said: “A big thank you to our fire crews who take the time to run events in their communities and raise money for a great cause. Consistently Lincolnshire events raise the most money of any county – and that’s also down to the generosity of our residents who support these efforts.”

Station Manager, Lee Marsh, said: “The Fire Fighters Charity does incredible work to support current and ex-firefighters and their families. They support so many people in what can be a very challenging role.

“Please do continue to support the events our community stations, and get your car cleaned this spring! The car washes are being sponsored by Autoglym nationally, but this year we have LGM Products that are very kindly sponsoring us here in Lincolnshire.”

Events will take place at fire stations across Lincolnshire:

8 March – Binbrook, Bourne, Gainsborough, Grantham, Louth

9 March – Alford, Billingborough, Leverton, North Somercotes, Spalding

15 March – Kirton, Market Rasen

22 March – Corby Glen, Wragby Market Place

On 6 April, firefighters from Wragby, Binbrook and North Hykeham will be taking on the Lincoln 10k in full fire kit. Charity donations can be made on Ben and Jake’s fundraiser for The Fire Fighters Charity JustGiving page.
