When a police officer dies or medically retires due to ill health or injury, this has a significant impact on their children. Police Children’s Fund offers financial support during this critical time. Children registered as beneficiaries may be eligible for a variety of charitable grants to support their education, development and wellbeing.

A little note to say a huge thank you for all the support the Fund has given me over the years and particularly in my four years of university. I’ve finally graduated this August and truly cannot express my appreciation and thanks for all the support and kindness the Fund has shown me.
