A public appeal committee raised a spectacular £1.7m to establish the Police Dependants’ Trust to care for injured officers, and look after the loved ones of Police Officers killed on duty.

They organised various fundraising activities, including a Mansion House dinner, a public appeal in the Times Newspaper, and a Royal World Premiere of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, in aid of Police Dependants’ Trust which was attended by our patron, HM The Queen.
