KIND DONATION IN MEMORY OF MARION

Fundraising

Donation from the family of Marion Wheeler

Following the sad passing of Marion who was a cleaner for many years at Elgin Police Office, the family kindly chose the SPBF to be one of the benefactors from the collection at her funeral.  Her family told us that Marion loved working at the Elgin Office and is pictured here in the middle, holding her retirement card from the officers and staff.

Following her passing, Marion’s daughter was contacted by a former workmate who let her know that Marion was loved by everyone at the office and would be greatly missed.  She said, “Marion wasn’t just our cleaner she was a surrogate granny and marvellous baker too”.

We all at SPBF, would like to pass on our condolences to Marion’s family and thank them for their kind donation.  It is clear that Marion was very much seen as part of the Police family in Elgin and will be missed by all of her former colleagues.

The Scottish Police Benevolent Fund is delighted to support the “Over The Wall ” Charity with £18,000 of funding over the next three years. Over The Wall delivers life changing camps for seriously ill children, their siblings and families. The charity has previously been supported by Police Scotland through the provision of its premises at the Scottish Police College, Tulliallan.

Many Police Officers and Staff, such as Inspector Neil Whiteside, have also volunteered their time, expertise and enthusiasm at the camps.

Martin Bertram, Chair of Scottish Police Benevolent Fund (SPBF) explained, “The SPBF is the official charity of the Police Service of Scotland. Given Over The Wall’s strong connections with Police Scotland and the assistance many in the police family have had from it, we were delighted t0 put in place this financial support.”

Accepting the cheque on behalf of Over The Wall, Trustee John Welsh said, “The Police Service of Scotland has been a great help to our charity. Tulliallan is a great venue for OTW camps and volunteers like Neill Whiteside are fundamental to their success. I’d like to thank Martin and all of his colleagues for this generous donation.”
Over The Wall is one of four charities which will benefit from the Rob Roy Challenge being held on 20.06.2015. The more participants the more the charities will benefit. If you or any of your colleagues would like to participate please get more information from www.robroychallenge.com
