Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year			The charity continues to raise awareness around mental health related issues affecting police officers. Our ambassador network is established now in several forces and welcome packs have been sent to them including the mental health guide. The volunteers continue to raise
			awareness around the issues police officers face and the mental health
			guide is available for sharing and discussion. One ofour trustees
			continues to liaise with and encourage the ambassadors in relation to
			fundraising and possible training.
			The charity is now recognised for the work that it does in raising mental
			health awareness and representatives from the charity are invited along
			to Force Wellbeing Days and events where they highlight the work the
			charity does but works alongside others. For example, a charity
			representative in the Met works alongside PD Dexter (wellbeing dog) and
			attends wellbeing days to discuss openly mental health issues and
			highlights support paths.
			We continue to use our website to allow police officers full access to our
			mental health guide and to provide real life stories from those affected	by
			these issues. This is part ofour program in raising awareness around
			mental health and demonstrating that it is ok not to be ok. We continue	to
			highlight stories and encourage officers to look out for each other,
			recognise the signs of struggle and to talk to each other. We are finding
			that more people are sharing their stories with us and this can provide
			much needed encouragement to others going through the same issues.
			We have attended several national conferences which provided the
			opportunity to speak with police officers from across the United Kingdom
			and internationally to demonstrate how we can help officers.
			We continue to liaise with Police Services around the United Kingdom	in
			relation to the support that we can provide their officers with access to
			the Thrive App and encourage them to include the charity as an option
			for those who exhibit mild to moderate symptoms of anxiety, depression
			and other mental health distress.
			The charity has continued the partnership with Thrive: Mental Health and
			Wellbeing —which has the only NHS endorsed mental health app. We
			have purchased 200 licences, which were fully used during this period.
			We make this app available to any police officer who feels that they
			cannot seek or avail of help within work or privately. The app has many
			functions but most importantly users can access counselling with trained
			counsellors and psychologists. The quarterly feedback indicates that
			those using the app are getting the help they need and a high percentage
			show excellent recovery. We intend to renew this purchase
			We are an integral part ofthe Police Charities UK umbrella and one of
			our trustees attends the semi-annual meeting. Here we continue to
			develop relationships, compliment and learn from each other's work. This
			adds to the overall service provided to police officers nationally.
			We promote the work ofthe charity on local and national media where
			appropriate and support those programmes that wish to highlight the
			difficulties that police officers face. We do so to encourage officers to
			take that initial step and ask for help.
			Our online store continues to supplement the funds raised for us and
			helps promote the charity. All funds raised are used to directly support
			the work we do.
