COPS Shortlisted for Briggs UK charity partner of the year.

Who are Briggs:

Briggs Equipment is the exclusive national distributor in the UK for the Hyster and Yale ranges of forklift trucks and other materials handling equipment.

Based in Cannock, Staffordshire Briggs people dedicate a lot of time and energy into supporting fabulous causes and are incredibly proud of their commitment to volunteering, spreading awareness and raising funds for different charities and the local communities, both local and national, high profile and more personal.

The loss of a police officer in the line of duty is a tragedy that reverberates through their family, the community, and the entire law enforcement fraternity. When an officer makes the ultimate sacrifice to protect and serve, their loved ones are left to grapple with profound grief and the daunting challenges that follow. This is where Care of Police Survivors steps in and supports families of fallen police officers and the fundraisers are a vital lifeline for our essential work.
Fundraising is vital in our mission to Support Fallen Officer Families.

Care of Police Survivors plays a crucial role in helping these grieving families navigate the brutal aftermath of such a tragedy. These organisations offer a wide range of services, including financial assistance, emotional support, educational scholarships, and more. The aim is to provide a safety net for families and offer emotional anchors while honouring the memory of the fallen officers.
