Since then the Fund has grown enormously and is now a registered charity providing support to serving and retired firefighters and their families who are in need. Help is given to any member of a firefighter s family who is experiencing any sort of difficulties, whether they be financial, physical or emotional. Last year we saw a great increase in the number of people benefiting from the Fund either through therapy, convalescence, retirement or hardship grants. With your support, this year we hope to help even more. Therapy Jubilee House Therapy Centre in Cumbria is a unique, purpose-built rehabilitation and therapy facility developed by the Fund for the benefit of Fire Service personnel and their dependants.
Every admission receives an individual treatment, developed for their particular needs.
The Fund maintains two centres for convalescence, both purchased for the convenience and tranquility of their locations. Marine Court in the seaside resort of Littlehampton has its own gymnasium and many local amenities nearby, including the beautiful South Downes. Harcombe House Convalescent Centre in Devon stands in 300 acres of beautiful woodland amongst fishing lakes and nature trails. The Fund also provides self-contained retirement bungalows at Eamont Park near Jubilee House and warden sheltered flats at Marine Court, both of which are available to rent or buy for former fire service personnel or their partners to enjoy their retirement in peace and security. The Fund provides financial assistance to past and present Fire Service personnel and their dependants when they suffer bereavement, misfortune, illness or hardship.
