ABOUT

The Sheffield Branch of the National Association of Retired Police Officers (NARPO) is a dedicated local network supporting former police officers, staff, widows, widowers, and their families across the Sheffield and South Yorkshire region.

 

As part of the national NARPO organisation, which safeguards the rights and welfare of over 93,000 members, the Sheffield branch acts as a vital bridge between national advocacy and localised, hands-on support.

 

Led by Branch Secretary Gary West, the committee works tirelessly to ensure that retirees from South Yorkshire Police and other forces living in the area remain valued, connected, and supported throughout their retirement.

 

Core Pillars of the Sheffield Branch

​

• Welfare and Pensions Advocacy: The branch offers critical guidance on police pensions, medical retirements, and state benefits, defending member rights in partnership with national campaigns like Later Life Ambitions.​

• Community and Connection: It combats the isolation that can sometimes follow a sudden exit from the tight-knit policing community by fostering lifelong friendships.​

• Social and Leisure Events: Members gain access to local and national social calendars, which feature regular meetings, dinners, regional functions, and group travel opportunities.​

• Member Benefits and Services: Membership unlocks specialised national discounts on travel, healthcare, legal services, and insurance.
