Christian O'Connell: Why we're raising money for the Police Dependants' Trust

On Thursday, we received an anonymous email from a police officer, following the horrific attack at Westminster. If you missed it, you can read it here: http://absrad.io/2mW3FOK.

The Officer and his colleagues have been really touched by all of your messages of support since we read it out on the show - as have we.

We wanted to do something more, so have set up our own Just Giving page for a little known charity called the Police Dependants' Trust. This offers support to injured officers and their families. It's easy to knock the Police but they put themselves in harm's way for us, just like PC Palmer did. This is our way of saying thanks. We have donated money from our show budget (which is normally for props and Richie's bacon butties) and our show sponsor Wickes have donated their prize money from today's show. If you'd like to give something too, you can do so at http://www.justgiving.com/AbsoluteRadioPolice.

Thank you.
