WINSFORD people have been thanked for their generous support of a charity car wash.

Local drivers turned out in force to support the event on April 12, which raised money for the Fire Fighters Charity.

Watch Manager Darren Hickson said: "Firefighters, fire cadets and teams of helpers with their buckets and sponges raised money for this worthy cause as well as handing out road safety advice at Winsford Fire Station.

“We'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped us raise an amazing £252."

Chair of the Fire Fighters Charity and Deputy Chief Fire Officer Mark Cashin added: "It is testament to the support we have from the public when events such as this show how generous people can be.

"It costs over £9 million every year to keep The Fire Fighters Charity running and, with no government funding, it is completely reliant on donations from the general public and fire community.”
