Meeting Prince Harry

On Monday the 20^th October Lee Waddicor and I had an amazing opportunity to meet Price Harry whilst visiting Salford Fire Station.

Prince Harry came to catch up with the operational crews who were involved in the Manchester and Salford riots back in 2011. He also met volunteer co-ordinators who were involved with the clean-up. In 2011 I was a community fire cadet at Eccles fire station which were also involved with the big clean up.  He spoke to myself and Lucy, who is a current Fire Cadet at Eccles station about what we do and asked us why we enjoy being part of Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service.

Lee Waddicor, a previous Princes Trust team member, now Apprentice Business Safety advisor also had the opportunity to meet and speak to the Prince. Lee was invited to meet prince Harry due to his recent successes in qualifying as a finalist for the celebrate success awards with the Princes Trust. Lee’s personal experiences were really beneficial to the Salford Team, he was there to support them and got the chance to speak to the Prince to explain how the course has changed his life.

He said” he spoke to me about my job role and I explained that we can progress from the apprenticeship to a full-time role. “

 “It was a fantastic opportunity that I will never forget, it was fulfilling to see Prince Harry have such a keen interest in his Fathers Charity, a moment I will truly never forget”
