It primarily supports and benefits children & young people not only when parental bereauement occurs, but also in ill health retirement cases where reduced income could haue a detrimental impart. The Charity is constantly adapting to changes and the associated requlrements in the policing world to ensure it is responsiue and remains a5 fit for purpose as it can be. From January 2024 Police staff became eligible to sign up and access benefits meaning we are a totally inclusive Charity. During 2024 the charity added a blrthday gront for school children, odding to an already comprehensiue support package. In my role as Chair over the lost seven years I have been humbled by the support and assistance Lue haue been able to prouide for Police Families when they are in most need. To remain fit for purpose, the Charity will continue to evolue and reflert the changing world of policing. Being unable to positively intervene because there was no donor in the family is both frustrating and heart-breaking. Therefore. I would ask that awareness of what this Charity prouides is promoted and would encourage all those eligible to consider becoming a donor.
