On 30th June 2018, whilst most of the team was engaged assisting the Fire Service with the moorland fires at Rivington, five of our Support Group and one operational team member operated a rota to hold a charity collection in the entrance of ASDA’s store at Brackley Street, Farnworth, from 10:00am to 6:00pm.

Thanks to the generosity of ASDA’s kind customers, we collected a fantastic total of £230.74 towards our search and rescue work.  We would like to thank the management of ASDA Farnworth for granting permission for our collection and making us welcome on the day, and, of course, huge thanks to the many wonderful shoppers who paused to talk to our collectors and drop their donations into our buckets.
