Christmas Update
Christmas is a time for celebrating with friends and family, gathering together, and giving to others. As you know, police personnel, across the UK willingly expose themselves to the risk of physical injury and psychological trauma to protect society, every minute of every single day, and it doesn’t stop for Christmas, which can be the most heartbreaking time of the year to be policing, especially for those away from their loved ones.
I’m writing to remind you that Police Care UK is the independent from government and forces, police charity continually providing confidential and free financial and psychological assistance to UK serving and retired police officers, staff, volunteers, and their immediate families, who have been harmed as a result of their policing role.
You may be interested to know that Police Care UK has launched it’s Christmas ‘Thank You’ campaign – the second of its type – to recognise the tireless efforts of UK police personnel. We’re saying thank you to them for their protection and service. Any support we receive helps us to help them, whether by providing our specialist trauma therapy, giving access to mental health support, or providing financial assistance, and with your help we can do more. Together, we can understand trauma and restore lives.
If you’ve not already done so, would invite you and your colleagues to consider registering for our newsletter, here; https://www.policecare.org.uk/
Because there is no subscription to Police Care UK, (we don’t want this to be a barrier for those needing help), and we receive no state funding, all the assistance we provide relies on donations. We are very grateful to all individuals across all forces for supporting Police Care UK via Payroll Giving scheme, Donations, or any other ways of involvement.
