The Charity offers residential therapy programmes at centres in Cumbria (Jubilee) and Devon (Harcombe House).

The centres are run by teams of dedicated professionals, with the therapy centres offering a wide range of treatments, including exercise therapy and physiotherapy - often helping fire fighters to return to work after career-threatening injuries.

The Fire Fighters Charity provides specialist therapy services to help beneficiaries - serving and retired fire service personnel and their dependants - recover from injury, illness, surgery, or in some cases, stress.

Being devoted to the fire service, The Fire Fighters Charity has built up an unrivalled knowledge of the treatments fire service personnel and their dependants require. Run by dedicated teams of professionals, the centres are able to offer a wide range of traditional and complementary treatments during one or two week residential programmes. Treatments include:

•    Exercise therapy

•    Physiotherapy

•    Reflexology

•    Health education

•    Aromatherapy massage

Each client receives an individually tailored programme of treatment on arrival, and a welcoming environment and friendly staff  help put clients at ease as soon as they arrive at the centre.
