We are raising money for the team’s chosen charity, Child Victims of Crime, which is the only national police children’s charity and was set up in 1993 following the bombings. They provide material support to any child up to and including 16 years of age, who has been a victim of, or traumatised by, any criminal offence committed in the .  Only police officers can nominate a child for an award and to date over 4000 children have been granted awards, varying from funding for private counselling sessions, holidays and activity breaks, tickets to events, mountain bikes, computers and high street gift vouchers.
