In this episode of the Barnsley Essentials Podcast, we meet George, the firefighter who took on the Barnsley 10K in full fire kit to raise money for Equipt Therapy Services.

Recorded outside Estabulo Rodizio Bar & Grill in Barnsley on George’s birthday, we chat to George about the challenge, what it was like running 10K in fire kit, the amazing support from Barnsley, and why this cause means so much.

We also speak to George’s mum, Sandra, who runs Equipt Therapy Services — a local charity supporting children who have experienced trauma.

A proper feel-good Barnsley story about family, fundraising, community spirit and one firefighter going the extra mile.
