Fund Raising activity for Manchester Central Fire Cadets

On the 9th August 2013 Manchester Central Fire cadets attended Asda in Harpurhey and conducted fund raising activities involving bag packing. Cadets were joined by Firefighters from Blackley Fire Station and in addition to back packing the cadets also gave Fire Safety advice to members of the public and promoted the Home Safety Check service. The day was a success and the cadets raised an impressive £450, the money raised has gone to the charity Retrack which offers assistance to community members abroad and to the family of Firefighter Stephen Hunt. Fund raising is a very important part of cadet life and this has been the sixth occassion the cadets have taken part in an activity to raise funds to help others, they are currently planning the next project which will be with the Red Cross. Keep checking back in on the blog over the next few months as Manchester Cadets units are very busy with other exciting activities.. :-)
