Brave Minds by Fire Aid is offering the opportunity to win a unique blue and yellow fire helmet, signed by the Ukrainian professional boxer and the undisputed world heavyweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk.
The helmet is being offered as a raffle prize to raise essential funds for Ukrainian Firefighters and Rescuers. Funds will be donated to Brave Minds by Fire Aid, which offers a mental health support programme for Ukrainian Firefighters, as well as the delivery of lifesaving fire and rescue equipment to frontline teams.
The war in Ukraine has had a devastating effect on the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. Since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, over 100 Firefighters have been killed and a further 436 have been injured, meanwhile 422 Fire Stations and over 1,500 fire vehicles have been destroyed.
Despite these devastating losses, Ukrainian Firefighters continue to risk their lives daily - not in combat, but to save lives and protect property, often under extreme and dangerous conditions.
Fire Aid has organised several convoys of donated vehicles and equipment from the UK, that had reached the end of their operational lives and therefore surplus to requirements. A total of 118 fire and rescue vehicles and more than 200,000 pieces of equipment have been donated since the start of the invasion.
To enter the raffle to win the signed helmet and to support work of Brave Minds and front-line teams in Ukraine, visit the Brave Minds website. Each raffle entry is £5 and the deadline for entries is Tuesday, September 30th. The winner will be selected at random. Full terms and conditions can be found on the Brave Minds website.
