Sarah’s helping hand

A serving officer has shared the story of how the Benevolent Fund helped his family through some really difficult times. He was due to get married when his partner Sarah found out that she had a chronic illness.

She had just started her first teaching job but had to give up work and the couple ended up with mounting debt that became unmanageable.

The Benevolent Fund was able to step in and help them pay off their debts and now Sarah’s health is stable and they have two children.

If you have debt problems, we may be able to help. We have a trained counsellor you can talk to confidentially.

During the last 12 months, we’ve helped over 40 officers and police staff to deal with their debt issues.

We can guide you on debt management plans, Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs) and even bankruptcy.

Our partners PayPlan can help with financial and legal issues like mortgage arrears, payday loan debt, house repossession and county court judgements.
