National Police Aid Charity Summary of tho main activities undertaken for th• public ben•fit Advancing the basic human rights of health care and education in the developing world, primarily in rural. particularly impoverished communities. Volunteers, who are central to our activib"es, benefft by having purposeful occupation and responsibility. The wider local community beneffts through engagement with our activities, such as work experience, and through our emphasis on recycling with minimum waste.
