Ways to Help Us!
DONATIONS
Any donation that you kindly make to the SPBF ensures that police officers, support staff and their families in need can continue to access the help and care they require. We promise that 100% of every pound you donate will go directly towards improving the lives of supported officers, staff and their loved ones at times of need. Administrative & other costs incurred by the charity are funded from other income we receive, such as subscriptions and dividends.
We have two easy options to allow you to donate to us, either as a one-off donation or a regular monthly donation. We use Just Giving and Donorbox to allow us to receive donations direct and their links are shown below. Simply choose which site you prefer to use, maybe you are already signed up with one!
