Ill-health retirement can affect health, income and family life at once. A new Police Care UK initiative is there to help when life is turned upside down by trauma.

We’ve recently completed a successful pilot of our new online Ill-Health Retirement Support Programme as we prepare for a formal launch of the service in January 2027.

The six-session course offers structured, small-group support to serving and veteran members of the police community who are considering, going through or have completed ill-health retirement.

IHR can close one chapter without showing someone where the next begins. No one should be left to find that route alone.

September has been a busy month for our Engagement Team.

We had Police Care UK Champion Trevor Keenan at the NARPO Conference; our Clinical Team launching the Superintendent Preparedness Programme at the Police Superintendents' Association Conference; and, volunteers Gary Mackie and Gerry Canning at the British Transport Police Conference.

We're looking to expand our team of volunteers to help raise awareness of our work helping mitigate the impact of harm experienced in policing.

If you're ex-police and want to stay connected to the police community by attending similar events of our behalf, consider becoming a Police Care UK Champion. Whether you can spare an hour or commit regularly, we’d love to hear from you.

We all have little quirks people remember us for.

But we’re also remembered for how we made people feel.

A gift in your Will can help keep that care going.

Leaving us a legacy could have a significant impact on the lives of those who have experienced physical or psychological trauma in a policing role.

Good luck to all those taking on the Windsor Half-Marathon on Sunday - especially Greig Williams who is raising money for Police Care UK.

Repeat exposure to trauma in UK policing is significant and our research shows one in five police will live with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder at some point during their career.

Greig is aiming to raise more than £500 to help ensure police officers, staff and their families have FREE access to specialist clinical therapy and financial support when they need it most.

Time is running out to complete our 2026 Service Demand Survey, which shapes the future of care at Police Care UK and helps us deliver more where it is needed most.

Our 2025 Service Demand Survey of more than 2,100 serving and veteran police officers, staff, and family members, told us psychological services must be our top priority.

In response, we provided over 5,000 therapy sessions last year; expanded our Clinical Services; and, enhanced our Financial Assistance Grants Programme.

The survey closes on October 2 and takes just 15 minutes to complete.
