FireFit Health Challenge
An FSSAA challenge to find the UK's Healthiest Fire Service Workplace
The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games provide a very rare and potentially valuable focal point around which people can be
encouraged to become more physically active and generally healthier. On the basis that the FSSAA exists to promote participation
in physical activity, myself and other members of its National Executive Council felt this was too good an opportunity to miss,
and set about exploring ideas for combining the brand of the Olympics with that of the FRS, around some kind of mass participation
event or challenge. This led to the birth of the UK’s Healthiest Fire Service Workplace Challenge.
The Challenge – which enjoys the formal endorsement of CFOA’s Board and is also now part of the Change4Life movement is fully explained
here; Challenge Structure
however, in many ways it is quite simply all about;
1. Healthier FRS staff – how has involvement in the Challenge helped to improve the health of staff employed at your workplace?
2. Healthier communities – how has involvement in the Challenge enabled the positive, physically-active brand of the FRS to engage with people in your local community and improve their health?
