Children's charity receives a boost!

NPIA Chief Executive Peter Neyroud presented his chosen charity with a large donation, to support children whose lives have been affected by crime. The charity, 'Child Victims of Crime', was delighted to accept the funds totalling £1,247, which was raised by delegates attending the recent NPIA National Workforce Modernisation Programme Conference.

Since 1994, the charity has arranged activity breaks, sporting events and funded private counselling sessions for children who have endured traumatic experiences. During the presentation, Charity Trustee Trevor Koschalka said
"Once a year we try to arrange a week long trip to Disney World in Florida for children and family members. Friendships are made and over the week you really can see a positive change."

Any serving police officer can nominate a child for support and the charity receives referrals from polices forces across the country.

NPIA Chief Executive Peter Neyroud said, "We hope more opportunities arise to raise money for this worthwhile cause. Child Victims of Crime is a relatively small charity and any donation can make a real difference."
