Welcome to the website of the RUC-PSNI Benevolent Fund. It has been designed to provide information about the Fund and the work carried out by the RUC-PSNI Management Committee.
Introduction
For over four decades, the RUC Benevolent Fund has addressed the needs of the wider police family in Northern Ireland. It could be argued that no other police Benevolent Fund within the UK has endured similar suffering, pain or grief over a sustained period of time.
Within the Fund we pride ourselves on being able to deliver a wide spectrum of benefits and assistance to our widows and dependants, retired colleagues, serving members and student officers.
From those early days in 1969 when members of the public donated money to be used for the comfort of injured officers, our Fund has developed from this firm foundation enabling us to extend our help to include a wide range of services from grants, financial assistance and rehabilitation facilities to leisure support in the form of our holiday apartments in Portrush and by 2010, Kesh Co Fermanagh.
In May of this year, to enable the Fund to continue to evolve within the ever changing police family, the Management Committee decided that in view of recent events the time was right to reconsider the title of the Fund. It was therefore agreed that the RUC Benevolent Fund should evolve to include PSNI within the title.
The Fund will therefore now be entitled:
The Royal Ulster Constabulary-Police Service of Northern Ireland Benevolent Fund.
(RUC-PSNI Benevolent Fund)
The Fund continues to support ex members of the RUCGC, PSNI, widows/partners and dependants thereof, injured and disabled officers, as well as members of the PSNI who find themselves in financial hardship or difficulty. In all instances a case of need must be identified.
