We recognise that the policing landscape is changing and that the level of demand on resources is an ongoing challenge on wellbeing, which is why we produce wellbeing guides linking to key notable awareness dates. We focus on topics across the 4 pillars of wellbeing – physical, mental, financial and social, to help you to look after your health and wellbeing and to stay happy and healthy.
We will be producing more guides each month. To see what subjects we will be focusing on during 2026, open our wellbeing calendar (PDF, opens in a new tab).

Police Mutual Foundation
The Police Mutual Foundation was launched in 2011 with its purpose is to provide wellbeing support and guidance on financial and general wellbeing issues. Since its launch it has provided ongoing insight, thought leadership and practical help where needed. It reflects the importance Police Mutual places on the relationship with the Police Service through the provision of tangible contributions to welfare provision for members of the Police Service and the wider Police Family.
