Fundraising firefighters in Mold have helped a local teenager, thanks to their most recent Guy Fawkes night spectacular.

Last year’s event raised £500 for Newlife Foundation for Disabled Children, the UK’s largest charity provider of specialist equipment for children with disabilities and terminal illness.

This has helped provide the 15-year-old, who has a rare and severe type of autism, with specialist clothing to support her in every aspect of her daily life.

Newlife Head of Operations Stephen Morgan said: “We are very grateful to the firefighters at Mold fire station for this £500 donation – and to the people of the local area for supporting this amazing annual event.”

In Flintshire alone, Newlife has supported 62 children with vital equipment totalling £62,604. This could be anything from the emergency loan of a specialist bed so a child can be discharged from hospital to a grant for a hi-tech wheelchair so a young person can play a greater role in school life.
