Help restore lives behind the uniform

Every day, police officers and staff face situations most of us will never encounter; violent assaults, sudden death, serious injury, and life‑changing harm. They are expected to stay calm, decisive and professional, even in moments of extreme distress. When the shift ends, the impact of this constant exposure doesn’t always stop. Your donation helps ensure those who give everything to protect us are not left to cope alone.

All donations received online to Police Care UK are secure. Please find our website Donation Terms and Conditions here.

We will use your donation at our discretion within our stated charitable activities and objectives. Donations may be used to support core costs as well as direct charitable activities.

Whilst we are grateful to receive any type of donation, we do not recommend sending cash in the post as we cannot guarantee it will arrive with us and cannot be held responsible for any cash that is lost on its way to us.

Under charity law (The Charities Act 2011), charities are not permitted to refund donations, other than in specific circumstances. If you believe a mistake has been made, please contact our Fundraising team.

Gift Aid is a government run scheme that allows charities to reclaim some of the tax that you have already paid to HMRC. Currently, this is equal to 25p for every £1 that you give.

Gift Aid does not cost you any extra and can make your donation worth an extra 25% to us, so it is a fantastic way of ensuring your donations go as far as they possibly can.

To qualify for Gift Aid you must be a resident of the UK that has paid Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax that is at least equal to the value of Gift Aid that will be reclaimed in the tax year. For example, if you make one donation of £10.00 in the tax year, as long as you have paid at least £2.50 in Income or Capital Gains Tax in the same tax year, this will qualify for Gift Aid.

If you have given us permission to claim Gift Aid but you have paid less Income or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid we reclaim, you may be asked by HMRC to pay the difference.

To qualify for Gift Aid, you must also be a resident of the UK and be donating your own money – so a collection from friends and family would not qualify, nor would a donation made by someone else on your behalf.

To allow Police Care UK to claim Gift Aid on your donations, you must provide us with a Gift Aid declaration.
