RAFT
The FBU Executive Council has agreed to give
formal support to the charity RAFT and will be making an
annual donation as well as giving space in Firefighter and
on the website.
Our Union has a long and proud history of assisting
charities and RAFT is a good example of a charity which
carries out important work for all members of society but
which through its work on burns carries special resonance
with our membership. This is shown by the large number of
our members who already contribute to the work of RAFT at
station and Brigade level.
We have worked informally with RAFT over a number
of years and been lucky enough to have met with some of
the people involved. They need our support.
Our new mascot Ross the fireosaurus (right)
will be part of our work with RAFT.
RAFT is the Restoration of Appearance and Function
Trust. Dedicated to restoring lives through plastic surgery
research, it is affiliated to University College, London.
You can find out more about its work at its
website.
If you would like to make a
donation, you can download a form
in pdf format.
