Celebrating the volunteers who power our WFS community — our Directors, Patrons, NEC and Local Representatives 💜 Your time, leadership, and heart lift women in the fire service every day.

A huge thank you as well to those who give their time to deliver workshops at our annual WFS National Training and Development Event. Your support makes the choice and quality we offer our delegates possible.

In the spirit of IWD 2026: Give to Gain, your generosity strengthens us all and helps build a more inclusive, empowered future for women in the fire service. 💜

Thank you for everything you do. 💜

The brand‑new Women in the Fire Service (WFS) website goes live later today.

We are excited to share a refreshed, more accessible, and easier‑to‑navigate online space. From clearer information and improved resources to a smoother user experience, this update marks an important step forward in how we connect, communicate, and celebrate the work of women in the fire service.

Join us at launch time and explore the new site: https://wfs.org.uk

We still have a few spaces left on our Women’s Development Programme 2 (2026/27) — starting in just two weeks. Join women from fire and rescue services across the UK to build confidence, challenge limiting beliefs, and strengthen personal resilience in a supportive, empowering space. Led by Jenny Pollock and Emma Shute from Women to Work, this programme helps you reflect, grow, and take charge of your development journey. If you’d like to join us, please speak to your service about securing funding and your place. Once funding has been approved, the booking form can be located on our website: https://wfs.org.uk/womens-development-programme...

Something exciting is coming…

A new Women in the Fire Service UK website — refreshed, easier to use, and created to better support our incredible community.

Stay tuned for the official launch!
