Help get our fund-raising

off to a flying start!

MP Benevolent Fund has enlisted
the amazing support of its
Wmembers to take part in the Great
Birmingham Run on Sunday 14 October.
Serving and retired officers, police staff and
friends of members will be put through their
paces as they tackle the half marathon and
raise vital cash for the fund.
Every month WMP Benevolent Fund offers
help and support to members in their hour of
need. So far this year, more than £50,000 has
been awarded in grants and benefits to aid
members suffering financial hardship or
distress.

be helping the fund to generate much needed
funds to provide continued help to those in
need.
