The Police Children's Charity

The Police Children’s Charity

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.

 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:

• Beneficiary Grant – an initial payment of £1000 per child to provide immediate financial relief
• Weekly Support Allowance – ongoing weekly allowance up to age 19
• Seasonal Gifts – Summer and Christmas gifts awarded
• Higher Education Grant – Support of £1500 paid in 3 instalments for each academic year (up to a maximum of 4 years)
• School Leavers Grant – For those not attending University; a grant of £500 towards tools for an apprenticeship or uniform
• Child Counselling Grant – Financial support up to £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
• Holiday Home – The Charity can provide a free one week stay at the luxury holiday home in Harrogate

The Police put their lives on the line every day to keep our neighbourhoods and communities safe and free from crime.

Support the Charity and together we can help safeguard our beneficiary children’s future.
