"We Ride for those who died!"

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

The UK Police Unity Tour (UKPUT) takes place between 24-26 July 2015. Starting at the National Police Memorial in London, we will make the journey across six counties to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. 

We have entered this event as a representatives of Northamptonshire Police Service, "Team Northants"

We ride in memory of fallen officers.

The thin blue line continues to get ever thinner as the loss of police colleagues occurs more frequently. With the murder of Greater Manchester officers, PC’s Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes, in 2012 and then PC Andrew Duncan who was killed in a hit and run last year - the world of policing becomes an increasingly dangerous place to be. 

The National Police Memorial at the corner of The Mall and Horse Guards in London is the starting point for the UK Police Unity Tour. The memorial contains an inscribed roll of honour with the names of approximately 1600 officers killed whilst on duty.

A key aim of the Police Unity Tour is to raise awareness of police officer fatalities and the ultimate price police officers sometimes pay in the protection of communities up and down the country. This is achieved through visibility of the ride, sponsorship and donations

Care of Police Survivors (otherwise known as COPS) is a UK registered charity dedicated to helping the families of police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty, rebuild their lives. It aims to ensure that survivors have all the help they need to cope with such a tragedy, and that they remain part of the police family.

COPS enables survivors to help survivors. Only another survivor can fully understand what new survivors endure, and that shared experience is the basis for the peer support programme.
