Walking over burning coals ...

Walking over hot coals may not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think of all the ways you can raise funds for St Michael's Hospice.  However, our previous three Firewalks have been enjoyed by many and have generated much needed income for the Hospice.

The Firewalk will be returning on Wednesday 20th April 2011 at the Phoenix Arts Centre at William Parker School.  We are providing a fantastic evening's entertainment in addition to the Firewalking. 

• Fireworks Connections will very generously be putting on their fantastic firework show as a finale. 

So, if we can't interest you in taking part, come along as a spectator for a great evening out!

Getting involved

Ian Mantel, from our sponsors Manor Insurance, has already bravely signed up to take part and places will continued to go fast.  So, if you are interested in taking part email us for an application pack.  We ask for a £10 registration fee with the request that you raise an additional £150 in sponsorship. All those raising over this figure will get a souvenir Firewalk t-shirt. 

We provide you with information sheets, posters and sponsor forms and will give tips on fundraising if you need them.

A few questions answered

What is a FireWalk?    

FireWalking is the act of walking barefoot over a bed of hot coals.  The coals are spread to create a walkway some 15-20 ft in length and 2-3 ft wide, the coals will maintain a core tempterate of over 800°F.

Will I get any training?   

The FireWalk is run by Time4Change, a training and events company who, for three decades, have safely guided thousands of people over the hot coals.  You will receive a two hour training seminar before being given the opportunity to walk across the hot coals. 

Is it safe?

Time4Change follows strict health and safety guidelines and pride themselves on their 100% safety record.
