Delegates and guests attending the Police Superintendents’ Association (PSA) annual conference have demonstrated their generosity and support for the wider policing family by raising £2,000 for Flint House. The fundraising took place during the gala dinner held as part of the conference, at which the PSA President’s awards are presented, with attendees donating towards the association’s chosen charity.
PSA President Nick Smart has thanked everyone who contributed to the fundraising effort.
"I am incredibly proud of the generosity shown by our members, guests and partners at this year's President's Awards Gala Dinner. Flint House provides outstanding support to police officers and staff when they need it most, helping them recover physically, rebuild their wellbeing and return to serving their communities. Raising more than £2,000 is a fantastic achievement and reflects the strong sense of solidarity that exists across the policing family. Thank you to everyone who contributed."
Flint House is a registered independent charity that provides physical rehabilitation and mental health support to members of the police service. The organisation supports serving and retired police officers and staff through specialist physiotherapy, rehabilitation programmes, psychological support and wellbeing services, helping individuals recover from injury, illness and trauma.
The charity's work plays a vital role in supporting the health and wellbeing of those who dedicate their careers to policing, ensuring they can access expert care and support when they need it most.
Sophia Majaya, CEO of Flint House, said:
"Flint House was delighted to be supported by the Police Superintendents’ Association at this year’s conference. We are incredibly grateful to Nick Smart, the President, for choosing Flint House as the nominated Charity for the Gala Dinner, and to everyone at the PSA for making us feel so welcome throughout the event.
“The generosity and warmth shown to Flint House was fantastic, and we were thrilled to raise £2,199.01 on the evening. This support will make a real difference to the work we do in providing physical rehabilitation and mental health support to members of the police service.
“It was a privilege to be part of the conference, meet so many members of the policing community and have the opportunity to share more about the vital work of Flint House. We would like to thank the President, the PSA team, the events team and everyone who supported our fundraising. Particular thanks to our trustee, PSA Assistant National Secretary Dan Murphy, whose help with the fundraising on the night made a real difference. We truly appreciate your commitment to Flint House and the policing community."
