In memory of Gary Chamberlain’s passing on 9th December 2023.

Gary was an inspiration to many friends, colleagues and of course his family. He was passionate about his physical health and he was an advocate for mental health, especially for his fellow retired colleagues - always campaigning for greater support. It is with this in mind, a challenge for January has been set.

To walk, run, swim, gym or cycle EVERY DAY in January. To honour what Gary always set out to achieve, it is hoped that each day you complete this with a friend, family member or colleague. Don’t struggle alone.

From 15th January - a monthly walk and talk will also be organised in Leicestershire to encourage retired or serving members to keep in touch regularly something we can all be guilty of neglecting.

Gary had been assisted by the Fire Fighters Charity previously and was an advocate for the work they do. He wrote an article in 2022 which you can read here;
