The Police Children's charity

The Police Children’s Charity is a registered charity which supports Police Families by helping to ease the financial pressures of bringing up children in the face of life changing circumstances.  These include the death of either Parent, or the Police Parent taking early retirement due to an illness or injury sustained on or off duty.  The Charity also offers financial assistance to support the mental health and wellbeing of the children of serving eligible donors.  No amount of money can replace a Parent, but the financial support from the Police Children’s Charity can make a real difference to the lives of children.  Support includes:

• New Beneficiary Grant – an initial payment of £1000 per child to provide immediate financial relief
• Weekly Support Allowance – ongoing weekly allowance upto age 19
• Seasonal Gifts – Summer and Christmas gifts awarded
• Higher Education Grant – Support of £1500 paid in 3 instalments for each academic year (upto a maximum of 4 years)
• School Leavers Grant – For those not attending University; a grant of £500 towards tools for an apprenticeship or uniform
• New Child Counselling Grant – Financial support upto £1000 per child to assist through a bereavement or difficult time
• Driving Lessons Grant – Available to young people age 17 to 25 to assist with learning to drive to a maximum of £1000 per child
• Ex-gratia Grant – Support can be given towards one off needs such as IT equipment, musical instruments or even tools for starting into employment
