eX-fire for Retired Firefighters and Fire Service Personnel

British Red Cross

Fire and Emergency Support Service (FESS) Bedfordshire

Whether it's a domestic blaze or other incident, our Fire and Emergency Support Service volunteers turn up day or night to help people during their darkest hour.

What does it involve?

As a Fire and Emergency Support Service (FESS) volunteer, you'll provide much needed help to people who have suddenly found themselves homeless following a fire, evacuation, industrial accident or flood.

Equipped with a specially prepared response vehicle, you'll make all the difference to people in crisis. Your role will include:

providing practical help and emotional support to distressed people.

helping evacuated families find temporary accommodation.

signposting people to other organisations and agencies that will help.

What skills and training do I need?

We will give you all the training and support you need to do this role. You just need to be patient and a good communicator - the kind of person who can bring empathy and a sense of calm to difficult stressful situations.

Working with the Fire Service

The FESS team have had a long and successful partnership with the local Fire and Rescue Service in Bedfordshire, ready to respond when people need our help.

Why are volunteers needed?

Without volunteers we would never be able to give people the help they need in a crisis. Because we offer so many services across the UK, we depend on people who generously give up their time to help others.

If you want to know more about this valuable and worthwhile service, please contact Stephen Alexander on either 07739 675040 or salexander@redcross.org.uk

We are particularly looking for volunteers who live in the following areas: Leeds, Halifax, Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Sheffield, Doncaster, Barnsley, Rotherham, Chesterfield and Greater Manchester.

Puppy walking is an essential element in the development of a future guide dog. A volunteer puppy walker takes a puppy of around six weeks old into their home and nurtures it for the first year of its life. The puppy walker teaches the puppy basic commands and socialises it to as many different environments as possible, under the guidance of a Puppy Walking Supervisor. Puppy walkers give their puppy a firm foundation for its later training and life with a blind or partially-sighted person, and although the role is challenging and a real commitment, it is extremely rewarding and worthwhile.

Volunteers will need to have access to a car, be at home for most of the day, and have a yard or garden which is securely fenced.

To find out more about this special role, or to enquire about other volunteering opportunities at Guide Dogs, please contact Kamini in the Volunteering Team on 0845 371 7771 or email volunteer@guidedogs.org.uk

Could you help transform lives and be a volunteer Puppy Walker?
