Who We help
Police Children’s Fund may provide charitable grants to the children of:
A serving officer who has died (on or off duty)
A retired officer who has died
A medically retired officer where the cause is on or off duty
A serving officer whose partner has died
Special constables where there has been a death on duty
An officer must have been serving with one of our 22 contributing police forces at the time of death, retirement or medical retirement. Where an officer served with one of these forces but transferred to a non-contributing force, the officer or family will be signposted to charities supporting that force.
How it Works
A financial form must be completed when applying for our grants. The information on the form remains valid for a period of 12 months and can be used when applying for any of our available grants throughout that 12 month period.
Receipts must be provided as documentary evidence to support any grant application and all grants are awarded at the trustees’ discretion.
Additional Help
Beneficiaries who move on to university may apply for higher education assistance.
All beneficiaries are eligible for celebratory gift payments.
