Metfriendly

Metfriendly UK Police Family finance specialists, since 1893. Savings, investments and protection for serving, former and retired UK Police and their families.

Volunteers formed the Metropolitan Police Provident Association in 1893 mainly to help widows of colleagues, and retiring officers. In 1948 this became the Metropolitan Police Friendly Society. Since then we’ve been offering unique police-friendly financial products and services to serving and retired police officers, police staff and their families. Today we have grown to be a multi-million pound

organisation – but we STILL have our members interests at the heart of everything we do. Our friendly, expert team comprises experienced financial services professionals including actuaries and underwriters. But it’s our close relationship with the police service that helps us to provide a comprehensive range of savings, investments and protection products tailored to meet your needs. We know the ins and outs of the police pay system, pension scheme and political landscape. And we understand the risks you face and the worries your family deal with on a daily basis.

Today is PTSD Awareness Day – and in policing, it's a relevant one.

The nature of the role means regular exposure to situations most people will never encounter. PTSD doesn't always present in obvious ways, and in a demanding job it can be easy to push things aside rather than address them.

Knowing the symptoms, and where to turn for help, is a practical first step.

Support is available from Police Care UK – a charity for serving and veteran Officers and Staff who have suffered physical or psychological harm as a result of their work.

It was great to be at Royal Ascot this week supporting the British Transport Police Federation's Welfare Van - out on the road to look after the Officers and Staff keeping the event safe.

British Transport Police work incredibly hard to protect passengers and railway networks right across the country. We're proud to support the BTP Federation in looking after their workforce.

For a lot of people, getting on the property ladder feels more like a distant dream than a realistic plan.

But it can start with small steps. A Lifetime ISA lets you save from £50 a month, up to a maximum of £4,000 a year, and the Government adds a 25% bonus on top.

1,456 Metfriendly Members have already used a LISA to buy their first home. In the 2025/26 tax year, the average Government bonus received by our Members was £http://454.35 – money they didn't have to earn, just save for.

It's understandable to feel uneasy about your savings and investments when financial markets are moving sharply and the negative headlines seem relentless.

Global events, inflation concerns and uncertainty around interest rates can all cause volatility.

But it's important to remember that short-term falls don't automatically mean losses – and periods of uncertainty have often been followed by recovery and growth.

In our latest Money Beat blog, we take a close look at what's happening right now and how our carefully designed approach to investment can help to keep things stable over five years or more.
