70 fantastic fundraisers raise over £7,000 at Break's Firewalk
26 Mar 2026
Last week, 70 fantastic fundraisers and more than 100 spectators gathered at The Forum Norwich for Break’s hottest event of the year – the Firewalk!
The talented Ruby Flames Entertainment kept family and friends entertained while our brave fundraisers underwent their firewalk training, before taking to the challenge. One by one, they fearlessly crossed the hot coals, with the crowd cheering them on every step of the way. Everyone brought amazing energy and raised an incredible total of over £7,000!
Local influencer Emma Grant (@emmanorwichgirl) said: “I took on the Firewalk with Break and honestly…my heart was pounding the whole time. I was so nervous but the training before the event was brilliant and very reassuring too.
“Challenges like this make such a difference. Break supports children and young people in care and leaving care and events like this help fund the support, opportunities and experiences they deserve. If you’ve ever thought about doing a charity challenge, take this as your reminder to go for it. It’s scary…but it’s also pretty incredible.”
Hayley Malone, Break’s Fundraising Events Manager said: “What a night! Thank you to all our wonderful supporters who braved the firewalk challenge, and to those who joined to support and celebrate with us. The event raised a fantastic total which will help us continue to support young people in and around care, so thank you.”
