Why Local Press Is Important For Firewalking Success and Fundraising
Charity Firewalks are powered on local good will. That is why local press is so important. In this digital age, local press websites are desperate for local news and photos, which is why when we run a firewalk, we recommend getting in touch with local news sites before your event.

Firewalking For Felines… View From The Photographer

Do You Offer Certificates For Firewalks?
Yes we do as a small add on. And we take pride in creating certificates that would look awesome when framed in the wall.
Most companies that offer certificates hurriedly fill out details on the night, so everything is written in pen and it looks a bit shody. We prefer to do it properly. What we have noticed is that if you manage to get a celebrity firewalker, and IF you can get them to sign the certificates (they usually will), then this can act as a HUGE attractor to the event, both in increasing numbers who choose to walk, and amount raised.

Nailing A Radio Interview For Your Charity Firewalk
PR is the lifeblood of a charity firewalk. That does begin with social media of course, but it should extend into traditional media too. Newspapers and radio at a local level are both excellent ways to get your message out to people who may be inclined to join your firewalk or just contribute.

How I Decided To Firewalk And Ended Up Getting A Tattoo! By Katie Ball

Do We Need Training Before We Can Firewalk?
Yes. 100% you will need training before you can firewalk, and also you will need to sign a waiver too. My personal preference is for half a day’s training (going into the evening), which works very well for small, tight knit groups with a single focus. For broader charity style events, the ninety minutes between lighting the fire and walking the fire is a perfect length for the training.
