Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) are part of the London 2012 Inspire programme. This enables MFRS to link their events and projects to the London 2012 Games in an official scope.
MFRS are part of this programme to promote public health and safety alongside London 2012 Games and contribute from a local perspective. Some of the events and projects that have been linked include Healthy Eating, FireFit and Women’s Rugby.
A Summer Fun Day was arranged in 2010 at the MFRS Training and Development Academy in Croxteth. This not only showcased activities and events but acted as a demonstration of ‘The Big Society’. Throughout the day MFRS showed how we can utilise existing resources from the community. for example the Fire Station gymnasiums being open to the public.
Various agencies from across the community contributed throughout the day including Merseyside Police, Ambulance Service, Local Council, Cobalt Housing, Merseytravel, LifeStyles and many more. This display of community cohesion showed the viability of what we could to for ‘The Big Society’.
