Latest news from The Firework Campaign. We are morphing!

Introducing AFLR

A bit of history........... 10 years ago Julie started a petition with a couple of really good friends asking the UK Government to limit firework use. That petition, after a lot of hard work and even more FABulous friends, eventually morphed into 
The Firework Campaign. 
​ 
The Firework Campaign has had success pushing 6 petitions over 100,000 signatures and following those were 5 debates in Westminster Hall, Parliament. Our current petition will be taken to No 10 this year. 
 
As we have been constantly disappointed with the response from Government to the government petitions and the debates we have been looking for 'another way'. At the same time charities have been searching for ways to bring this issue to the Government's notice and a group of 17 charities have come together to form The Firework Working Group (FWG). 
 
Going forward we have created The Association for Firework Legislation Reform (AFLR). This new UK based organisation will support the FWG to help them achieve a change in the 20 year old Fireworks Regulations 2004. Our mission is to gather support from a wide range of charities, organisations and groups who are all, in one way or another, negatively affected by the extreme overuse of fireworks today. We hope to improve the welfare of vulnerable members of society, as well as domestic, agricultural and wild animals, whilst balancing people's right to enjoy fireworks. To this end we also continue to support the RSPCA's Bang Out Of Order campaign.
