Sussex information technology firm ADA has established itself as a partner to the Fire Services' National Benevolent Fund (FSNBF).

The charity, based in Littlehampton, is going through a period of change and growth and needed expertise to help with its computer systems.

The FSNBF was set up in 1943 to care for the families of bereaved wartime firefighters. It has expanded the range of its services and now has a state-of-the-art therapy centre.

It concentrates on getting injured firefighters back to work as quickly as possible and cares for fire service families.

Over the next five years the charity hopes to double its size.
