How we helped Maisie (further)

March 8, 2019 Fundraising

Awhile back the SPBF released a series of short videos in which they explained how they had been able to assist various officers and their families in coping with challenging experiences and situations they were having to deal with. One such family was Alan and Claire Wilkie and their daughter Maisie. SPBF is very pleased to announce that recently we have been able to assist the family again in providing Maisie with a new specialist all terrain wheelchair as she had outgrown her old one. This highlights the importance SPBF places on supporting its members and their families throughout their journey. Members are not restricted to one application and every request for assistance will be looked at under its own merits.

We were delighted to received the following photograph showing Maisie enjoying her new wheelchair and getting out and about with all the family, including the family dog! We hope you enjoy your new chair Maisie and have lots of wonderful memories in it.

The SPBF previously produced a series of short videos spotlighting some of our work. In them, officers and their families tell us their stories and what the Scottish Police Benevolent Fund has done for them. You can view these videos by clicking on our blog via the home page. If you know somebody who needs help then contact us.

If you’d like to join the SPBF, make a donation or raise funds for us please get in touch.

Helicopter Crash

December 2, 2013 Fundraising

The Scottish Police Benevolent Fund wish to extend sincere condolences to the families of all those who have lost loved ones in this tragic incident. Our thoughts and sympathies are with them and also with the friends and colleagues who knew them at this very difficult time.

We also wish to recognise the efforts of the emergency services and thank everyone who has assisted and supported those involved in the immediate aftermath of the incident.

Our thanks are also extended to the many individuals and local businesses and charitable organisations who continue to provide support and assistance to the emergency services who remain engaged at the scene.

Trustees, in consultation with the Police Service of Scotland and the Scottish Police Federation, will consider the most appropriate and effective way to support and assist the families of the three aircrew involved.

It is evident this tragedy has been felt not just within the policing world but the wider public beyond and we are very grateful for all the messages of support that have been forthcoming.

Anyone who wishes to make a charitable donation to our Fund can do so using the following link. http://www.justgiving.com/spbf
