The Sussex Police Charitable Trusts comprise two charities, the Sussex Police Charitable Trust (257564) and the Sussex Police Staff Charitable Trust (263885). Each has its own group of Trustees to administer their respective Trust who are recruited from serving or retired employees of Sussex Police.

The Charities are registered with the Charity commission and are individually financed through membership contributions, investment income and donations and legacies.

Help from the Sussex Police Charitable Trusts can be obtained via the Sussex Police Charitable Trusts' Adviser and the Sussex Police Charitable Trust Liaison Officers. Support is provided to members in the form of advice, grants and loans.

The Sussex Police Charitable Trust owns a 3 bedroom bungalow in Dorset, providing Sussex Police Charitable Trust members and their immediate families with the opportunity to take a recuperative break when experiencing difficult personal circumstances.
