Harp and Crown Credit Union has donated £500 to the Police Remembrance Trust, the National Police Memorial Day (NPMD) charity, supporting this year’s memorial event in Belfast.
National Police Memorial Day was first initiated in May 2001 by now retired Kent Inspector Joe Holness OBE QPM, following the brutal death of a colleague.
Services are held UK wide to mark the national contribution made by the police and to remember fallen officers and their families. The event takes place on the nearest Sunday to Saint Michael’s Day, the Patron Saint of Police, rotating yearly around England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
National Police Memorial Day took place in Northern Ireland this year with the event being held on Sunday 27th September 2026 at Waterfront Hall, Belfast.
“It was a privilege to attend this year’s National Police Memorial Day in Belfast and remember our fallen colleagues, many of whom I have worked with or have been active members of Harp and Crown Credit Union. As the Credit Union for the wider Police family in Northern Ireland, we understand too well and recognise the dedication to duty and courage of our RUC and PSNI family. Our heartfelt thoughts are with all families, colleagues and Harp and Crown members remembering their loved ones. We hope our donation can help to support this great annual event to remember all police officers who have been killed or have died, whether in the line of duty and while off duty.”

The Harp and Crown Credit Union has been providing safe, ethical and flexible finances for the Police and wider Police family in Northern Ireland since 1998.
