About Us

Did you know?

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.

💙 Supporting our beneficiary children through life’s difficult moments.The loss or medical retirement of a parent can bring significant changes for the whole family, and sometimes children need a little extra support along the way. 🫶That’s why our Beneficiary Counselling Grant offers up to £1,000 per child towards counselling support, upto the age of 25. 💬Counselling can be used to help a child cope with bereavement and grief, but it doesn’t have to be directly related to their parent’s death or medical retirement. If they’re struggling emotionally, finding things difficult or simply feel they would benefit from having someone to talk to, this support is available. 🌈Because whatever they’re going through, they don’t have to go through it alone. 💙 ...
