Here at Call4Backup, We believe that the well-being of those working inside the Police Forces throughout the UK is the most important thing. There are many things that can affect the ability of those working in our police to do their very best while at work. With this in mind it is imperative that we show support and solidarity to anyone who may be battling anything that prevents them from doing their very best in the role they perform. This is the reason why we, as a charity run by police - for police, are plugging the gap in providing support to our police colleagues to make sure they have the tools to start their journey to recovery and get back to doing the AMAZING job they do every day to protect the public throughout the UK.
