The Police Children’s Charity is a registered Charity which aims to support Police families by helping to ease the financial pressures of bringing up children in the face of life-changing circumstances. These circumstances could involve the death of the Police Donor Parent or their partner, or where the Police Donor takes early medical retirement. This applies to both on and off duty incidents or issues.
The Charity also provides financial assistance to support the mental health and wellbeing of the children of Serving Police Donors.
The Police put their lives on the line every day to keep our neighbourhoods and communities safe and free from crime. While no amount of money can replace a Parent, support from the Charity can provide a degree of financial certainly in difficult times.
Support the Charity and together we can help safeguard our beneficiary children’s future.

Today we welcomed Chris Prior to The Police Children’s Charity Head Office at the The Police Treatment Centres in Harrogate this week.
Chris’ wife, Rosie Prior, a dedicated officer at North Yorkshire Police, tragically lost her life earlier this year while stopping to help a stranded motorist near York. Following her passing, their two sons became beneficiaries of The Police Children’s Charity, receiving ongoing support for their education and future.
Chris nominated TPCC as the chosen charity for donations at Rosie’s funeral. Since then, Chris, alongside his colleagues and many of Rosie’s former colleagues at North Yorkshire Police, have continued to raise funds for the charity with, including a North Yorkshire Police team entry in the Knaresborough Bed Race on Saturday 14 June. We are incredibly grateful for Chris’ ongoing support and inspired by his strength and generosity.
Chris was accompanied on his visit by Rob Bowles, Chair of the North Yorkshire Police Federation, who has been a tremendous support to the family. During his visit, Chris shared, “The TPCC is a fantastic charity that really helped us as a family at our time of need. I would strongly encourage all police officers and police staff to sign up to the charity, as you never know when you might need them.”

As we reflect on the progress of the TPCC during our 2025 AGM, it's been a year of both successes and challenges. Despite a drop in donor numbers from 44,000 in 2011 to just under 27,000 at the end of 2024, we continue to grow in other areas - with extended benefits and reaching new beneficiaries.❤️
We know it's tough for some to see the value of joining when young or new in service, but we also know how vital this support can be when the unimaginable happens.
Despite the challenges, we’ve provided over £800,000 in support to our beneficiaries this year! 👏✨ This includes:
🚸281 child beneficiaries
🎓83,500 in university grants
🎁£172,000 in summer & Christmas grants
And much more!
We’ve recently opened the TPCC to police staff, but we’re still seeing fewer than 300 staff members donate. If you're in the police community, please consider joining us and making a difference.
"It's not a case of if you can afford to pay into TPCC, it's whether you can afford to not." CEO Patrick Cairns implores everyone to share the support of TPCC as widely as possible.
❤️Providing a helping hand if the unimaginable happens 💙
