Police Care UK would like to thank our official supporter XPS Group.

Your support enables us to be there for those who provide our protection, safety and security, when they need us the most.

When someone is living with the impact of harm, it can change the rhythm of family life.

It’s important to look out for each other — not just on the Job, but afterwards too.

You might notice someone isn’t quite themselves. They may seem more irritable, quieter than usual, or on edge. Maybe they’ve stepped back from conversations or are finding it harder to sleep.

For those who’ve worked in UK policing, it’s worth recognising that they may be living with the impact of trauma.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust that instinct.

A simple conversation can make a real difference — and remind someone they don’t have to face things alone.

Take a step towards change with Police Care UK’s ‘Walk The Beat’ this on 27 June.

Lace up your trainers and head out into your local area to help raise vital funds supporting serving & veteran officers, staff, and their families affected by trauma and PTSD.

Every pound raised helps provide life‑changing specialist therapy, financial assistance, and hope to those living with the physical or psychological scars of policing.

Whether it’s walking the dog, a trip to the shops, or time spent with friends outdoors, every step you take shows that no one in the policing family has to face this alone.

Policing shapes you. It changes how you see the world and how the world sees you.

Leaving the police can feel like losing a part of who you are.

If you leave the service carrying trauma – it may continue to affect you in the years to come and can feel like parts of your identity have been taken away. But identity isn’t lost forever.

With the right support, individuals can regain control of who they are and how they want to live.

We’re here to help you do that > https://www.policecare.org.uk/ptsd-awareness-month/

Trauma doesn’t just affect the person who is living with it. Families can carry the weight of policing trauma too.

Everyday life can be full of unexpected triggers for someone living with PTSD - a loud noise, a sudden change in routine, even a familiar place. And when trauma resurfaces, it doesn’t just impact the person who served - it ripples through the whole family.

Partners, children, parents, and close friends often describe feeling helpless, walking on eggshells, or struggling to understand the changes in their loved one.

When someone is living with the impact of harm, it can take the joy out of retirement and change the rhythm of family life.

The physical and psychological impact of policing can stay with those who serve long after their shift ends, with many experiencing PTSD as a result of repeated exposure to trauma and needing specialist support to recover.

This on June 27, we’re asking you to Walk The Beat - take a simple step outdoors to boost your wellbeing while showing your support for the one in five in the policing family who may be living with PTSD.

By getting involved and donating to Police Care UK, you can help ensure they receive the care they need, when they need it most.

Raise £100 or more and, as a thank you, we’ll send you two Police Care UK water bottles and a pin badge to recognise your support.

“We all appreciate the role of cops do, but we probably don't appreciate how human cops are.”
