Police officers are very often the first responders to serious accidents and dangerous incidents, which can sometimes result in the unthinkable happening. While no amount of money can replace a parent, support from the St George’s Police Children Trust can provide a degree of financial certainly in difficult times and is provided for on or off duty incidents.
This year focus will be given to raising the profile of the Charity in the hope to increase both the number of officers donating to the cause and ensuring the appropriate messages are being presented so if help is needed it can be accessed straight away.
Out of over
60,000 officers, more than
36,000 Police Officers contribute to the St George’s Police Children Trust, and therefore, their children would be eligible to receive financial support from the Trust if ever needed. Make sure your children do not miss out!
“Mark always paid into everything; I used to tell him to remember charity starts at home. He ignored me and never cancelled any of his charitable deductions, good job he didn’t listen to me! Mark died last July from an undiagnosed heart condition on a family holiday. We never would have imagined the Trust would be something we would have gone on and benefited from. No one knows what the future has in store.
The Trust currently funds 2 days nursery care for my 1 year old son. This allows me time to get on top of things at home and have a little “me” time. It’s been very hard trying to digest all that has happened, particularly with two young children. I hope in the future to be able to move forward and provide good memories for my two children. I feel assured that the support from the Trust will help allow me to do this.” Louise Walker (mother to Grace age five and Oliver age one)
