Firefighters of Fairford

HUGE thank you to everyone who came to last weekend’s charity car wash!

We had a steady flow of vehicles come through and the sun was shining - what more could we have asked for?

In total we raised an amazing £619.50 which means the Fire Fighters Charity and Kate’s Home Nursing will receive £309.75 each.

Thank you, as always, for your generosity, and we’ll keep you posted on when we do another.

Stay safe peeps!

Is your Fiat filthly?
Is your Suzuki in a state?
Your Massey Ferguson a mess? (Not sure we've had a tractor before!)
BRING IT DOWN!

Fairford Fire station on Hatherop Road, THIS SATURDAY from 9am-12pm, taking voluntary donations for the Fire Fighters Charity and Kate's Home Nursing. We accept cash or have an online payment link.

We'll wash any vehicle so please give us a challenge. I'm talking bicycles, motorbikes, mobility scooters, vans, pickups, tractors - you get the gist. You bring it, we'll (do our best to) clean it.

Can't wait to see you all there!

🚒 Fairford Fire Station Charity Car Wash 🚗

Join us at Fairford Fire Station on Saturday 18th April 2026, from 9am to 12pm, for another charity car wash!

We’ll be raising money for The Fire Fighters Charity and Kate’s Home Nursing — two very important causes.

Many of you may remember Emily, who used to be part of the crew here at Fairford. Emily recently lost her father, Colin, and asked if her family could help us with the car wash to also raise money for Kate’s Home Nursing, who gave incredible care and support during Colin’s last weeks.

We’d love to see as many of you there as possible. Everyone is welcome, with vehicles of all shapes and sizes — whether it’s a car, van, 4x4 or anything in between.

Please come along, support two amazing charities, and help us make it a great morning for a great cause.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
