about the police community clubs of great Britain
The Police Community Clubs of Great Britain (PCCGB) works to provide a safer and more inclusive life for the most disadvantaged children and young people in our communities.
Administered entirely by serving and retired police officers, the Patron of the PCCGB is Lord John Stevens QPM. Five members administer the day-to-day work of the PCCGB; Director and Development Officer Barry Jones, Managing Director Chief Superintendent Simon Humphrey, Financial Director Detective Inspector Gordon Valentine, Director Constable Cliff Perkins and Vice Chairman and Director Derek Rulten.
They support more than 70 police community clubs which are all either run on a voluntary basis by serving or retired police officers or, as a requirement, have at least one such officer on their management committees. We also fund young people through scholarships at the recently formed Further Education Sports Academies.
