Thank you for taking the time to visit the Cambridgeshire Police Unity Tour team fundraising page.

The 2026 UK Police Unity Tour will be held on the 7th, 8th and 9th August with Police Officers, Police Staff and Retired Officers cycling from our Police Headquarters to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.

Our incredible team has grown over the years and all our riders commit to raising a minimum of £400 each.

The team will be raising money for COPS (Care of Police Survivors) who help the families of fallen Police Officers who die in the line of duty. Each rider will be issued a blue memorial bracelet inscribed with the name and information of a Police Officer who died in the line of duty, which we will carry to the finish line. Whilst realising the dangers of policing, nobody expects to die in the line of duty. When such a tragedy does occur, the surviving family endures emotions including denial, bewilderment, anger and depression.

The police service does not have the resources to maintain support for these families beyond the immediate aftermath of the death. That is where 'Care of Police Survivors' comes in. 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. COPS aims to build a network of survivors around the UK, developing the capability of having local support as soon as required. The extent of help provided will be controlled by the new survivor. Sometimes an understanding listener 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.
