The Mytchett Firewalk 2026
Our community hub needs your help to stay cozy this winter!
The Mytchett Centre is in urgent need of a new boiler, and we are hosting a major community night to fund it.
On Friday 20th November, we are launching our Charity Firewalk right here at the Centre.
Brave supporters will walk barefoot across red-hot embers under professional guidance.
What Is Firewalking?
What is Firewalking?
It's the practice of walking barefoot on hot embers.
The Firewalk is designed to help transform fear and to inspire people to do things they didn't think possible, it can show you that there is more to 'reality' than you think, that many limitations we experience in life are self-imposed. This is so much more than just a Firewalk.
Please note: It is essential that all participants attend the training prior to the firewalk.
The decision 'to walk' or 'not to walk' is a powerful one and we ask that you save making that decision until you have been fully trained.
Is it real fire?
Yes, we burn a light - medium density wood, which we break down into a smooth glowing twinkling path of embers 20’ long by 2’ wide.
Do I actually walk on a flaming fire?
No, you walk on the fire bed itself, by the time you come out of the training seminar the fire will have burnt down to embers. If there are any flames, they will be down the sides of the fire lane.
Please Sign Up so we can reserve your place and send you sponsorship details and updates. You need to be at least 14 years old; parental consent required if you are 14 or 15.
​​
We are raising money for the new heating system that the Mytchett Centre urgently requires to operate throughout the winter. You can find out more about the fundraiser on the Fundraiser Page.
​​​​
To help the fundraising Firewalkers should pay a £25 entrance fee and commit to raising a minimum sponsorship of £125.
We have our own Charity Account at Wonderful.Org and you can setup your own fundraising page linked to our account to collect donations and track your progress.
Press the "Wonderful.Org" button to setup your own fundraising page or to make a donation.
​
Your sponsors and donors can make bank payments without bank fees so that 100% of the donation goes to the charity fund.
​​
Payments can also be made with Gift Aid if the donor qualifies as a UK tax payer which means the charity gets the tax back (an extra 20%) from the government too!
​​
If you collect cash donations or sponsorship please bring it to the Mytchett Centre (01252 373073) or transfer it into the Wonderful.org account.
Business Sponsors Wanted
Businesses can support the event through:
• team sponsorship
• raffle prizes
• matched employee fundraising

Supporting the appeal demonstrates a commitment to the local community and helps preserve an important local facility used by hundreds of residents every week.

What Happens On The Night
Once you have registered and everyone is ready, you will undergo a
training session in a private room.
Everyone must take part in this training, it’s the best part, the firewalk is
a bonus!
The training is based around proven motivational and psychological
methods.
It doesn’t involve any elements of hypnosis, spiritual training, chanting,
‘brainwashing’, voodoo or any similar methodologies.
Once the training is completed, we go straight out to firewalk
