Local businesses show their support

Local businesses have been showing their support by donating free tickets and events passes for young people taking part in a Firebreak course.

The course, which is run by Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service, helps young people aged between 14 and 16 to gain vital life skills including communications, teamwork and self- confidence through practical scenario based training and theory/discussion workshops.

Tickets have been donated by Coventry City Football Club, Coventry Blaze Ice Hockey Club, Snowdome in Tamworth, Lakeside Ten Pin Bowling and the Odeon Cinema in Nuneaton.

Youth Development Officer, Moreno Francioso said:

“We are really pleased that so many businesses are supporting the Fire Break course. The tickets donated will be used to treat the young people who have achieved or excelled their learning goals. We would like to say a real big thankyou to all of the businesses involved for all of their support.”
