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.

For further information about our fire safety interventions, contact our Prevention Development Manager, Sarah Hardman sarah.hardman@manchesterfire.gov.uk.
