CHRISTMAS APPEAL

T'is the season to be jolly…….?

WELCOME

Police Care UK is a charity for serving and veteran police officers and staff, volunteers, and their families who have suffered any physical or psychological harm as a result of policing.

We are independent of the police service, and are funded entirely by donations and fundraising – we receive no money from government or forces for our work.

If you would like to discuss the practical, emotional or financial support that Police Care UK can potentially provide, please make a referral below or call 0300 012 0030 and ask to speak to a member of our team.
