Not just for Christmas… We are here for our members all year round
It’s been another busy year for the Benevolent Fund.
This year we have given out over £107,000 to support members in their hour of need. We have introduced a new mental health support service and helped sick and injured members with convalescence and rehabilitation breaks at the first-class treatment centre, St Michael’s Lodge.
Over 150 members and their families enjoyed land and water-based activities as part of our annual ‘A Day to Remember’ adventure days at Blackwell Court and Aztec Water Park. It was great to see everyone having some good old-fashioned fun and there wasn’t an electronic device in sight!
Our two holiday homes, in Dorset and Devon, proved very popular with members again this year, with both seaside properties almost fully booked.
As 2023 draws to a close we are looking forward to 2024. Next year is going to be a very special year for our police charity. We will be celebrating 50 years! 50 is a big milestone and a chance to pause, reflect and celebrate the wonderful achievements we have made.
With our anniversary plans now in full swing, we will be getting in touch with you again in the New Year to share more details. Look out for our newsletter in early January and keep up-to-date with all your membership benefits, as well as anniversary news and events on our website. www.wmpben.co.uk
Don’t forget that our holiday home ballot will be running again in the New Year. Members can register their interest from Monday 8 January 2024. The ballot will then close at midnight on Monday 5 February. If you fancy a wonderful week away in one of our seaside properties please do enter. Any remaining weeks not taken in the ballot will be available for members to book on a first come first served basis.
We also have further savings for members, through the YOUR REWARDS Scheme. Just visit www.yourrewards.co.uk and enter the log in details below for discounts on a wide range of goods, days out and much more.

As we head into our 50th year, we will endeavour to play a vital role in supporting our members the best way we can. This of course would not be possible without your continued support and I would like to say a personal thank you.
On behalf of the Ben Fund Team, our Charity’s Trustees and Operation Committee I would like to wish you and your loved ones a very happy and peaceful Christmas.
Stay safe and keep well.
Warmest Wishes
John Williams
