A few words from our Firewalk expert
Charity Fire Walk | Charity Firewalk | Norwich

Benefits of taking part in a firewalk
At first, the idea of walking through fire might seem daunting. However, the positive results experienced by our participants are living proof of the amazing effects of this experience.

1. Firewalks shatter comfort zones.
We’re all living inside tiny bubbles of comfort that prevent us from experiencing all life has to offer. Firewalks have the ability to improve our willingness to expand those boundaries.

2. They establish strong connections.
Going through challenging experiences has the power to build bridges between people, making firewalks the perfect solution for team building within charities.

3. Firewalks build character.
There’s something that sticks with participants after a firewalk. They walk taller, stand firmer, and talk more confidently. This undeniable change is the result of the strong character formation that happens in such a short period of time during these events.

4. They shift perspectives.
Nobody goes into a firewalk completely confident of their ability to walk through the flames. By the end, however, everybody is instilled with the knowledge that they’re capable of so much more. This shift in perspective is transferrable to other endeavours within your charity which leads to greater performance and achievement overall.

Incentive
As an incentive, each year our event hosts, Charity Firewalk offer an award to the individual that raises the most money for their chosen charity. Just send us your details after your walk and let us know how much you raised, and we will let them know.

Are you looking to build your confidence and increase your self-belief? Priscilla Bacon 500 Club member Wendi Mclean is hosting two interactive online workshops that will help you to do just that!

Signing up gives you access to both workshops, with the first taking place on Saturday 7th October and the second on Saturday 14th October.

The workshops will delve into the various components that contribute to confidence, including our beliefs, self-esteem, inner dialogue, boundaries, and body language. By examining how these factors impact our behaviour, we can adopt different strategies to cultivate new habits and build up our confidence. Additionally, Wendi will cover topics like visualisation, energy, and practical steps to help you gain a clear understanding of what’s holding you back and how to make the desired changes.

There will be a workbook to help guide you and a place to keep all your notes.

This online 2 x half day training program is designed to offer actionable advice and techniques to enhance your confidence and develop an assertive attitude in various personal and professional situations.

Wendi is running this course to help raise funds for the new Priscilla Bacon Lodge, and is asking only £50 for both sessions, which includes the workbook. All proceeds will come to our charity, so not only will you have an amazing experience, you will also be helping us to provide the very best end-of-life care to the people of Norfolk.
