    The branch sponsors three awards at the City of Manchester Division ceremony

    In May the branch sponsored the awards ceremony for Greater Manchester Police’s City of Manchester Division (COM).

    We sponsored three awards:

    1. Unsung Hero
    2. Bravery
    3. Police Officer of the Year

    Branch Chair Sandie Wilde and Treasurer Maureen Graham represented the branch at the ceremony, pictured above with the NARPO leaflets they took along.

    Sponsoring the awards is one of the ways the branch is making NARPO better known among serving officers — the people who will be looking for us when they retire.

  • NARPO Conference 2026, Torquay

    NARPO Conference 2026, Torquay

    The branch was represented at this year’s NARPO annual conference, held at the Riviera International Centre in Torquay.

    The conference hall set out for NARPO Conference 2026, with the NARPO crest and lecterns on stage and regional seating signs
    The hall at the Riviera Centre, set out for conference with each region’s seating marked.

    Conference is where the branches meet the National Executive Committee, where motions from around the country are debated, and where the year’s work on pensions, welfare and member benefits is reported back. Delegates are seated by region — Manchester & District sits with Region 5, the North West.

    It is also where branches compare notes, and our delegation spent a good deal of conference telling anyone who would listen about the branch’s new website.
