A charity that provides support to West Midlands Police Federation members harmed as a result of policing has launched a ‘Thank You’ Christmas campaign.
Police Care UK aims to recognise the tireless efforts of police officers, who put themselves at risk to protect our communities – even at Christmas.
It has launched a digital drive for people to show their appreciation for serving and former officers, and their families, and their sacrifices this Christmas.
A spokesperson for the charity said: “Your kindness will support our work providing specialist clinical therapy and financial assistance for those who have been exposed to physical and psychological trauma in their policing role.
“With your help, we can do more.
“Join us in saying a Christmas ‘thank you’ to all our police – past and present – for their protection and service.
“Your support this Christmas can help us help them, and together, we can understand trauma and restore lives.”
Police Care UK is a charity for serving veteran police officers and staff, volunteers, and their families who have suffered physical or psychological harm as a result of policing.
It is independent of the police service, and funded by donations and fundraising.
Police Care UK is encouraging people to make a donation to the charity, post a message on its Wall of Thanks, share a social media post, fundraise, volunteer, or even leave a gift in their will.
