Christmas Wishes 2009 - Donation
This year we have chosen to make a donation to "Friends of Beaulieu" instead of sending Christmas cards to our customers and suppliers. Beaulieu House is a wonderful respite centre for children, and provides essential support for families across the Isle of Wight. Friends of Beaulieu is a charity primarily run by parents, and they are currently looking to raise £20,000 for a play park that will be suitable for the children.
Shanklin Football Club, Under 9's
Wight Fire sponsor the Shanklin Football Club Under 9’s team. The boys have had a very successful first season, they finished 6th in the league and reached the semi-finals in the Paul Westby tournament. The boys have recently chosen to call their team The Shanklin All Stars, and they are all looking forward to the new football season in the Under 10's league.

Christmas Cards - After the successful feedback of last year, we again chose to make a donation to the Earl Mountbatten Hospice and Naomi House instead of sending Christmas cards to our customers and suppliers.
Walk the Wight 17th May 2009
A team of Wight Fire employees walked 26.5 miles across the Isle of Wight for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice on the 17th May 2009. The rain and gale force winds meant the Wight Fire t-shirts had to stay under our jackets, but we kept going and and between us raised £545. Our blisters have finally disappeared and we hope next year the sun makes an appearance!
