The team from Yelverton Fire Station will be at St Paul’s Church car park from 10am to 1pm raising money for The Fire Fighters Charity and for CLIC Sargent.
The station has chosen CLIC Sargent as its charity of the year in support of four-year-old Elsa Kendall from Crapstone. Elsa was diagnosed with acute lymphatic leukaemia last October, and has to undergo a series of treatment including drugs and chemotherapy at Derriford Hospital, and at the Royal Bristol Hospital for Children. CLIC Sargent has supported Elsa and her family through her treatment.
Tavistock firefighters will be at Fairway Furniture from 10am to 3pm washing cars for The Fire Fighters Charity as part of the National Car Wash.
Lee Howell, chief fire officer for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Servicer said: ’Monies raised through national fundraising initiatives provide a real boost to The Fire Fighters Charity. As well as being a fun and popular event for the charity, the National Car Wash also gives our firefighters the opportunity to share important safety messages with members of their local community.
’Your valued donations will go towards helping thousands of men, women and children from the fire and rescue community during their times of need.’
