Southport firefighters are preparing to roll up their sleeves to take part in a national car wash this weekend to raise vital funds for The Fire Fighters Charity.

Firefighters from Southport Community Fire Station’s White Watch and fire cadets from Bootle and Netherton Community Fire Station will be washing cars on Sunday March 13 between 11am and 3pm.

Anyone can being their car along to the event, which is taking place at Southport Community Fire Station on Albert Road, and have it washed in return for a donation to The Fire Fighters Charity.

The charity is the leading provider of services that enhance quality of life for serving and retired fire service personnel and their families.

Watch Manager Steve Bousfield said: “We are really hoping that as many people as possible will come along and have their cars washed on the day, while raising money for a very good cause.
