The charities:
COPS (Care of Police Survivors):
COPS is a UK registered charity dedicated to helping the families of police officers who have lost their lives whilst on duty. They aim 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 as they rebuild their lives. Only another survivor can full understand what new survivors endure, that shared experience is the basis for our peer support programme. COPS enables survivors to help survivors, the extent of help provided will always be controlled by the new survivor. Sometimes an understanding lister is all that is needed. Sometimes more practical help is required.
Whatever the need, COPS will be able to put survivors in touch with those who truly understand.
Abby's Heroes are a charity supporting children, teenagers, young adults and their families when diagnosed with cancer.
The aim of the charity is to help and support children and their families who come under the care of the Piam Brown and the Teenagers and Young Adults (TYA) wards in Southampton General Hospital. The catchment for these wards covers the south of England as it is a centre of excellence for children’s oncology. They aim to offer financial and practical help and importantly, the opportunity to make lasting memories for the children, young adults and their families.
