Cheshire Police Chief Constable, Mark Roberts, has announced five local community-based charities will each receive a share of £50k this Christmas, supporting their work within our communities.

In Christmas 2024, CC Roberts launched the Cheshire Constabulary in the Community Christmas Initiative, announcing charities were set to receive a donation on behalf of the Constabulary - going towards their efforts in supporting communities across Cheshire.

Now, representatives from Cheshire Police will be visiting five charitable organisations from across the county to present them with a share of £50,000, helping them continue their "fantastic work" into 2026.

Mr Roberts said: "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Cheshire Constabulary, and I am absolutely delighted to announce that we will again be supporting the Cheshire Constabulary in the Community Christmas Initiative.

"This is our opportunity to say thank you to those who are committed to serving our communities, with residents across the county at the heart of all the work that they do and ensure those they work with have a wonderful Christmas time and receive the continued support they need well into the new year.

"The share of this £50,000 that we are donating this festive season comes from funds recovered under the Police Property Act and will go directly to supporting the communities the officers and staff of Cheshire Constabulary serve around the clock, 365 days a year."

In the run-up to Christmas, Cheshire Police will be sharing the work of the five chosen charities as they are presented with their share of the £50,000 by the Chief Constable and representatives from across the Constabulary.
