International Woman's Day Special

Fire Fighters Charity Season 3 Episode 3

March 8 marks International Women's Day and we're celebrating alongside millions across the globe with a special episode of our Shout!Podcast.

We hear from four women who share their own experiences in their roles and, in one case, of receiving life-changing support from us.

Listen to the episode

Kath Billing, Chief Fire Officer of Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service, starts the episode by talking about her journey through the fire service and what it’s like leading in her role today.

Then, Tess Churchill, Wellbeing Coordinator for Surrey and East Sussex Fire and Rescue Services, opens up about her recovery from ovarian cancer and the support she received from us - marking Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.

And later, we chat with our Administration Team Leader, Sandra Harrison, and Clinical Assistant, Lucy Milton, who are two of our dedicated team members at Jubilee House, our centre in Cumbria, as they celebrate an incredible 30 years with the charity.
