Holiday ballot opens One of our special partnerships is with the North West Police Benevolent Fund and their outstanding therapy centre, St Michael’s Lodge. The centre offers first class treatment for both mental and physical wellbeing, with a whole range of treatments, including physiotherapy, counselling and holistic therapies. Our holiday ballot will open again on Monday 6 January 2025 for members to express an interest in staying in one of our two holiday homes for the 2025/26 season. To enter the ballot, simply click on the online calendar featured on our holiday home webpages for Peels Retreat (Weymouth) and Court Cottage (Dartmouth) and select your chosen week. On 3 February registration will close and then the ballot will take place to decide which members have been successful with their bid. If you are successful, you will be contacted by a member of our team. Good Luck!
