Thanks to our generous Waterside Community we raised a magnificent £9,142.90 for local good causes. After reviewing the nominations by the local community, those to benefit include Hythe Armed Forces & Veteran Breakfast Club, Hythe Alive, Oakhaven Hospice, Who Let The Dads Out, Gangwarily Scout and Guide Group, All Animal Rescue, The Honeypot Children’s Charity, The Waterside Food Project, Busy Bees Preschool, National Coast Watch Stone Point, Warren Copse and Holbury Manor Conservation Group and Waste Not Want Not. In the summer we attend many events across the Waterside, all monies raised during the summer go towards the upkeep of the fire engine itself so that we can keep Santa on the road. Are you hosting a summer fete or event where you’d like us to attend? Drop us an email at: watersidefireengine@gmail.com If you would like to join us as a volunteer, we are always looking for people to look after the fire Waterside Musical Society present their panto of Robin Hood at Fawley Royal British Legion on Thursday 15th February, 7.30pm, Friday 16th February, 7.30pm and Saturday 17th February at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.

And in readiness for Santa’s December run, we are also actively looking for volunteers that love walking but are also confident in guiding our fire engine along the dark roads of the Waterside. Spotting for the fire engine is an important role and we can’t be out on the road without our wonderful ‘spotters’, full training will be given.
