Date published: 28 January 2015


Heywood firefighters have been crowned top Fire Fighters Charity car wash fundraisers in Greater Manchester.

Thanks to the generous support of the local community crews raised over £700 washing cars over two weekends in March and September 2014.

Presenting the award on behalf of The Fire Fighters Charity, North West Region Fundraising Officer Alan Knell said: “It’s a pleasure to present this award to the top North West Region station for their superb efforts.

“This fantastic donation, along with money raised at the Halloween Spooktacular, has contributed towards over £1,700 raised by Heywood for the charity over the past year.

“I’m also delighted to announce that Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service were the second highest car wash fundraisers in the whole of the UK.”
