Face the fear and take on a truly inspiring challenge as you walk across a bed of burning coals without getting burned!

Date All year round

Location Any private indoor location

Cost £50 per person with a minimum of 30 firewalkers.

Challenge friends, family and work colleagues to face the fear whilst having loads of fun and raising valuable funds for Contact a Family. We're looking for daring individuals and groups to host their own firewalking event with the help of firewalking experts, Blaze.

What do I need to do to organise a firewalking challenge? All you are going to need is a private indoor location where Blaze can facilitate their 2 hour 'learn or burn' (don't worry, it's just a name!) training session with your volunteers immediately prior to the fire walking itself, and also a level, flat surface not more than a five minute walk away where their expert team can build and prepare the bed of red hot coals to their very exact specifications.

Previous firewalkers have used a hotel which has a great area for the training and car park for the outdoor firewalk.

Your firewalk will take place at night so why not consider adding to the party in the dark with refreshments and entertainment such as a local band.

Where can I find out more information? Visit the Blaze website by clicking here to find out more on organsing your own firewalk for Contact a Family.

How will Contact a Family support me? Once you've signed up to organise your firewalk we'll be here every hot step of the way supporting your volunteers in their fundraising with dedicated fundraiser packs, materials and special Contact a Family t-shirts to wear as they conquer the coals!

Contact us on 020 7608 8731 or email fundraising@cafamily.org.uk to find out more about firewalking and supporting Contact a Family.
