Don’t forget we have 2 donation bins in Matlock for the Firefighters Charity!
These are located at the Lido Car Park in the town centre and at the front of the Fire Station. 🚒
Both are easy to access especially if you’re in a car. 🚗

We really appreciate the donations but The Lido one fills up quickly so if it is full please use the other one at the Fire Station.
We do check them regularly to ensure they are emptied. 👀

This is the reason we need to ban disposable BBQs. 😭😳
How many times do we need to say don’t have BBQs in open spaces!! 🔥❌
With the ground being so dry this could so easily have been the entire forest 😳🌳
Please share the message far and wide to not have fires or BBQs in open public spaces! 🗣️📣
