Officer's cash boost for police charity
Monday, 30 March, 2009
Geoff Inskip raising money for Police Treatment Centres.
A police officer from Northumbria is using his retirement party as a way to raise money for the Police Treatment Centres.
Constable Geoff Inskip, who retires from the force in June after 30 years service, is asking his friends and family to make donations to the charity instead of buying him cards and gifts to mark the occasion. In addition to this Geoff has organised a retirement raffle.
Geoff said: "I have been to Castlebrae, the Police Treatment Centre in Scotland, twice in recent years and was so well looked after that I wanted to do my bit to raise money for the charity. I held a similar fundraiser when I turned fifty and was able to raise thousands of pounds for a local charity.
The Police Treatment Centres charity provides two centres where serving and retired police officers can receive intensive physiotherapy, recuperation and complementary treatments following an injury or illness.
Raffle Tickets are available from the Police Treatment Centres or contact Geoff on 07864779291 or emailgeoff.inskip@btinternet.com
