How do we raise our funds?
Our funds come mainly from the pay packets of Police
Offcers, retired Police Offcers, and Police staff. They
contribute to a small lottery, and this provides most of
our funds. We also hold a high profle charity evening
each year that many of our business partners and local
businesses support.

Also, via our Charitable Trust, we have recently worked
with PIPS Programmes to deliver suicide risk awareness
training to local reps and members. We have delivered 3
courses locally, and have one more planned (all funded by
Merseyside Police Federation).

Mental health issues and suicide risk are massive within the Police
is a major issue, particularly for our Reps who are frequently
dealing with members in diffcult and stressful situations. These
issues are just as relevant within our communities.

Our Charitable Trust works towards providing for the
community of Merseyside, and we are looking
to provide the same training for staff at local schools and
community groups.

Working with PIPS Programmes, we applied to the Big
Lottery Fund via the National Lottery, and were delighted
we were awarded £9,600 to deliver suicide awareness
training to teachers from local schools.

This was a major development for our Charity, and is a
perfect example of providing ‘Public Value’ as outlined in the
Normington Report. Donations and awards since 2008
