Firies seeking spare change to help young burn survivors

The donation helmet can be found at the Bottom Pub (aka Guyra Hotel)
25th Nov 2025

Guyra locals are being asked to throw their support behind the 2025/26 Beat The Burn Campaign, with a dedicated donation helmet now set up at the Guyra Hotel.
It is one of around 120 decommissioned helmets which have been turned into donation vessels and distributed to fire brigades across NSW.
Local Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) firefighters are urging community members to drop in their spare change and help raise vital funds for young burns survivors across NSW.
Now in its 21st year, Beat The Burn raises funds for the Burns Unit at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. It is a year-round initiative promoting burn-prevention messages, supporting families, and raising critical funds for treatment and recovery.
Over the past two decades, FRNSW firefighters have helped raise more than $1.65 million for the Burns Unit. This year, the goal is to raise $400,000 to continue improving functional and cosmetic outcomes for children who suffer serious burns.
Local firefighters hope the Guyra community will embrace the opportunity to contribute, helping ensure children living with life-changing burns receive the best care and support possible.
Residents can donate at the Guyra Hotel - special thanks to the Guyra Hotel for acting as a donation point and backing this important cause.
