Crime Charity Tackles Donation from Police Rugby Team

Tony Shepherd, Safer London Foundation Chief Tony Shepherd with Brendan MacLaughlin and Comander Broadhurst outside New Scotland Yard Executive, was outside New Scotland Yard this week with Commander Bob Broadhurst to receive a cheque for £4,000 from Brendan McLaughlin, Police Business Manager for O2.

This donation resulted from a Met rugby team’s success at an O2 six-a-side rugby challenge event at Twickenham stadium late last year. One of the two Met teams taking part won the competition and chose Safer London Foundation, the Metropolitan Police Charity, as the beneficiary of the £4000 prize.
