We provide life-enhancing support to the UK's fire & rescue community.

Story

Please donate today to support our dedicated Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service fire fighters as they raise money to support their colleague Liam Coffil and members of our fire service family across the country.

On Sunday 30th of June, a group of dedicated Fire Fighters will cycle to every fire station across Hertfordshire to raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity.

Over the course of the day riders will rack up 180 miles as they visit the 29 Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service stations that serve the county.

The Fire Fighters’ Charity exists to help all serving and retired members of the UK’s fire family to live healthier and happier lives – offering vital support to protect those people who protect us.

This year we are riding in support of Fire Firefighter Liam Coffil, who sustained life-changing injuries when was knocked off his bike on the way to work at Garston Fire Station in August 2023. As part of his rehabilitation, the Fire Fighters Charity will be there to help and support him along the way.

Riders will make an early start on their ride at 5am, ensuring that they have time to complete their 180-mile journey to visit each station within one day.

As part of their event, they’ll take short refreshment stops at stations in Hemel Hempstead, Garston, Borehamwood, Hertford, Bishops Stortford, Royston, Hitchin and Stevenage, before heading back to St Albans. It’s expected that, including rest-stops, the ride will take around 20 hours to complete.

About the charity

The Fire Fighters Charity offers specialist lifelong health & wellbeing support for the UK fire & rescue community, empowering individuals and families to achieve mental, physical and social wellbeing throughout their lives.
