Strengthening Community Bonds: Burnley Fire Cadets Volunteer at Gannow Community Food Share

At Burnley Fire Station, community engagement isn't just a duty; it's a passion. On the evening of Wednesday, 21st February 2024, the Fire Cadets from Burnley Fire Station exemplified this commitment by participating in an arranged evening at the Gannow Community Food Share. This initiative was part of their Citizenship Unit within the Cadet programme, emphasising the importance of giving back and supporting those in need within their community.

The project they undertook was not only noble but practical: stock rotation, stock checking, replenishing shelves, and packing food parcels. These tasks are vital for ensuring that the Food Share can continue its essential work of helping the less fortunate and vulnerable individuals in the community.
The dedication and hard work of the cadets and their leaders were evident throughout the evening. Their efforts resulted in the Food Share's storage looking nothing short of amazing. The couple of hours they dedicated made a significant impact, showcasing the power of collaboration and community spirit.
At BPRCVS (Burnley, Pendle & Rossendale Council for Voluntary Service), we were thrilled by this collaboration. The assistance provided by the Fire Cadets not only benefited the Food Share but also strengthened the bonds within our community. It's through such partnerships and acts of kindness that we can create a more supportive and inclusive society.
We extend a heartfelt thank you to all the cadets and leaders who participated in this event. Your selflessness and commitment to serving others are truly commendable. We look forward to future opportunities to work together and continue making a positive difference in the lives of those around us.
Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient community. Thank you for your invaluable contribution!
