Young people raise their hoses in the air for Pudsey Bear
Young people, aged 14 -17, will be running out a mile of fire hose to raise money for this year’s Children in Need.
The fundraising event will take place at 1pm on Friday 19 November, Nuneaton Fire Station. The students will be running out over a mile of hose, which is a total of 128 hoses in less than one hour.
The students will be supported by fire-fighters from Warwickshire County Council’s Fire and Rescue Service as well as parents and carers. Local residents are also being invited to come along and support the event.
Moreno Francioso, Youth Development Manager said: “Running out – and rolling back up a mile of hose in an hour is a big task and doing it all in aid of Children in Need and in front of supporters should make it lots of fun for those taking part and the spectators. We hope that lots of money will be raised by their efforts.
”All of the young people taking part in the event attend the Firebreak course, a unique development programme, run by Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service in partnership with Connexions.”
Portfolio Holder for Community Safety, Councillor Richard Hobbs said: “Children In Need is a very worthy cause and it is great that so many young people are getting involved. It should be a really fun event, so please come along and give your support.”
