Our Board

The Southampton Police Club Trust Fund (SPCTF) can only continue through its membership and the dedication of its board members.

We rely on staff and officers, past and present, becoming members - without a membership there is no SPCTF. There is no cost to joining, no annual fee, and no requirement for you to commit to any events or meetings - just a willingness to be part of something which helps others.

Consider joining us and complete the membership application form today.
