Escape from it all with a break in Scotland

14 November 2024

If you are looking for a short break that won’t break the bank, then look no further than a self-catering holiday cottage in Scotland available to Federation members.

The three-bedroomed property, which is in Auchterarde near Perth, is owned and managed by the Police Treatment Centres (PTC).

Week-long stays cost from £500, and any funds raised go back into the treatment centres.

The PTC charity has two centres – Auchterarder and Harrogate, Yorkshire – dedicated to supporting the wellbeing of subscribing serving and retired officers.

Spacious cottage

The spacious cottage sleeps up to five, plus a travel cot, and features:

• A large double en suite with shower
• One twin and one single bedroom
• A bathroom with bath
• A Fully fitted modern kitchen with fridge freezer, oven and microwave, and 
• A garden with outdoor seating.

It is dog-friendly so you can take along a well-behaved dog for an extra £30.

Founded in 1897 with the aim of supporting police officers in need, the PTC charity is committed to helping the serving police workforce and retired police officers recover from injury, illnesses or health conditions (sustained on or off duty) and promoting the wellbeing of the policing profession.

The two centres have state of the art facilities with a multi-disciplinary team of experts including physiotherapists, fitness instructors, nurses, counsellors and complementary therapists.

Physiotherapy

They offer residential physiotherapy and psychological wellbeing programmes alongside a range of online programmes, including specialist support for women’s health issues and officers taking job-related fitness tests.

Around 4,000 members of the policing profession visit the centres each year.
