POLICE CHILDREN'S FUND

For the care and education of children of deceased or medically retired police officers from subscribing forces in England and Wales.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

The Trustees may consider applications relating to a step-child of a relevant officer if they consider that the step-child was substantially supported by the relevant officer, or children of a serving officer from one of the contributing Police Forces where it is the officer’s spouse that is deceased, causing hardship. ‘relevant officer’ shall mean a deceased officer or ex-officer, or an officer retired on medical grounds, who were serving with one of the contributing Police Forces at their death or retirement.
