On Saturday 12th July, Today Team will be hosting a charity firewalk at Walton Hall Gardens, Warrington, WA4 6SN.

The event will raise money for Warrington Disability Partnership (WDP), supporting disabled people and people with long term health conditions across Warrington.

Our firewalk will be hosted by Scott Bell, twice Guinness World Record holder for the ‘Greatest Fire Walking Distance’, who will explain the history of firewalking and the technique behind it. Then, to the beat of the drum, it will be time for our firewalkers to take up the challenge. These fearless fundraisers will be walking between 15-20ft over coals at 550 degrees Celsius!

All donations and money raised at the event will be going to WDP, a user led charity which aims to relieve the needs of disabled people, their families and carers in England and Wales, through actively promoting independent living.

WDP provides information on peer counselling, equipment, personal assistance, transport, access, employment, education, training and a range of other services. It has over 30 years experience of developing and delivering mobility and independent living services.

Today Team Managing Director Jamie Boyd is a long serving board member of the Disability Trading Company (DTC). As a business we have supported WDP fundraising efforts through corporate sponsorship of events and via other fundraising activities such as sponsored skydiving.

The event starts with a briefing at 3:00 pm and the firewalk will begin at 4:00 pm. Tea and coffee will be available for participants and guests.

Every step taken and pound given will go towards supporting someone else’s independence. We greatly appreciate any support you can give. Our fundraising goal is to raise £5,000 via a £50 target for each of the 100 participants.
