Police Care UK

Support in retirement and ill-health retirement – please click here to read more.

Police Care UK – formerly known as the Police Dependent’s Trust – is the charity for serving and veteran police officers, staff, volunteers, and their families, who have suffered physical or psychological harm because of their policing role.

As the charity receives no money from the Government or forces for it’s work, it is entirely independent of the police service and is funded exclusively by donations and fundraising.
If you would like to discuss the practical, emotional, or financial support Police Care UK can potentially provide, please make a referral via our website – www.policecare.org.uk – or call 0300 012 0030 and ask to speak to a member of our team.

Financial support from The Charity for Civil Servants

Life throws up many challenges, and frequently they go hand in hand with money worries. Particularly at this current time, financial worries can be intertwined with fears around the pandemic.

The Charity can help with all sorts of financial issues, whether your income has suddenly reduced from job loss or ill health, or whether you’re unable to pay for essential items that need replacing. You may have taken the steps to leave a relationship and need to move on, or you may have lost someone and find it hard to cope financially, as well as struggling with bereavement.

They can’t promise to pay for everything you need, but they’ll work with you to understand what they can help with, and look at your individual needs in confidence and without judgement.

For further information about the many ways the Charity can help, take a look at their website or call to speak to an Adviser in confidence on Freephone 0800 056 2424

My Document Locator

The ROA has made available to members a 'My Document Locator' which is produced in the form of a booklet that can be used as a check list of personal documents that records where key personal records, assets and papers can be located in the event of death or incapacity. It is not a Will but simply a check list. The booklet can be downloaded by clicking here.
