TNF Beanies Raise Funds for Firefighters Charity

Whilst TNF’s main purpose is to provide high quality equipment and apparel to sports clubs, associations and schools across the country, opportunities occasionally arise where we are able to do our bit for local communities. 

One such opportunity emerged earlier this year, when Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service celebrated their 25th year anniversary. They decided they wanted a tangible souvenir to mark the occasion, whilst also giving something back to an organisation from whom they have received much support over the last 25 years; The Fire Fighters Charity.

The Fire Fighters Charity was set up during the Second World War to support the bereaved families of firefighters who had died during the Blitz. In the 80 years since, the charity has been providing support for the physical, social and mental wellbeing of those involved in the fire services across the UK.

Adrian Davies, a Watch Manager in the Service’s Northern Division, contacted TNF to see if we could aid their fundraising efforts, and we were only too pleased to assist. In conjunction with Adrian, we decided to produce a bespoke beanie hat for the members of the service, with funds raised being donated to the Fire Fighters Charity. Demand and generosity have been far higher than anticipated, with 250 hats sold raising more than £750 for the charity so far; £2 from every beanie bought goes to the charity, whilst TNF also donate an additional pound from every sale. The aim is to raise a total of £1000.

“Originally, I was only going to order 50 hats, but interest grew quickly and I had to up the order to 150 just for the first batch.” said Adrian. “Hopefully, demand will increase even further once the colder weather returns and we can raise more money for the Fire Fighters Charity!”

TNF’s UK Sales & Business Development Manager, Gareth Davies, said “Working alongside the fire service and the Firefighters Charity has been an absolute pleasure. We are over the moon to be contributing to an amazing charity and providing the fire service with great quality beanies.”
