Work with Us

In addition GMFRS provides other interventions and has other resources that you, our partners, and your service users, could benefit from.  For example, we run Youth Engagement Programmes, have a volunteering programme, schools resources and more.

We also want to hear about your services so that our staff can refer and signpost people in the community to the right organisations to get the support they need to stay safe.

In these unprecedented times, we have had to adapt and so not all our services are running as usual. But, please continue to contact us to find our more about how we can work in partnership now and in the future.

For further information about the fire safety interventions on this page, contact our Prevention Development Officer (Home Safety) Sarah Hardman hardmans@manchesterfire.gov.uk
