Police Children’s Fund is a grant giving charity supporting the education, development and wellbeing of children of deceased or medically retired police officers from our 22 contributing forces across England and South Wales.
The Trustees will also consider the children of retired police officers who have died and children of Special Constables who died on duty.
Initial Enquiry for Support
Following the death or medical retirement of a police officer from one of our contributing forces, the parent/guardian may apply to us directly but we prefer to receive an official referral from a force representative such as a Line Manager, a Federation Representative or a Welfare Officer.
