The Fund is administered by a committee who meet once a month to discuss applications from members, which may result in the award of an interest free loan and/or a grant.
The Fund also supports the convalescent homes at Harrogate and Auchterarder with 98 pence in every pound being forwarded to support this very important service. Applications from contributing serving and retired officers to attend convalescence can be made by contacting your Force Welfare Office.
