Eight firefighting apprentices from across Berkshire have raised over £5,000 for charity during their fundraising event in Bracknell.

On Saturday, October 28, every individual in the group cycled 80km on static bikes within the town centre.

This 80km challenge represents 1km for every year the charity has been established, marking its 80th birthday.

The Fire Fighters charity supports the health and well-being of serving and retired fire and rescue service personnel, their dependents, and other eligible members of the community.

A Just Giving page has been set up for people who wish to donate to the charity.  Messages of support have also been left for the firefighting apprentices who were taking part in the challenge.
