Win £100 worth of Amazon.co.uk vouchers

17 January 2024

West Midlands Police Federation members could win a £100 Amazon.co.uk gift card by taking part in a survey into the impact of the cost of living crisis on police family finances.

Metfriendly - financial experts dedicated to the police service - is running its annual Police Family Finance Index survey, which closes at midnight this Friday.

The survey aims to give detailed insights into the financial pressures and circumstances faced by the police officers in the UK to help inform policy development and provide guidance for financial wellbeing support.

Last year’s report found that more than one in four (27 per cent) were missing meals due to a lack of money, and 86 per cent of respondents said they had financial concerns.

The survey also found that on all indicators around financial wellbeing, the Police Family was in a worse position than they were six months ago, Metfriendly said.

The last national report was used in 2023 Police Remuneration Review Body (PRRB) submissions and cited by the final PRRB report as being one of the pieces of evidence when securing the recommended level of national pay rise, Metfriendly added.

It said: “This research will help all involved gain a better understanding of the current situation and help us to improve levels of financial wellbeing through our work within the community.”

Eligible respondents will be entered into a prize draw to win one of ten £100 Amazon.co.uk gift cards. Entry terms and conditions apply.
