Registered Charity No: 1146913 (England & Wales).
Flint House Police Rehabilitation was founded in 1890, back in the days when bobbies wore stove-pipe hats and the most common injury was caused by police horses. The first Police Seaside Home, Clarendon Villas, was established in Hove in 1890 by philanthropist Miss Catherine Gurney OBE (1838 – 1940). The Home moved to a new purpose-built building, Portland Villas in 1892 and 70 years later as patient numbers increased moved again to the larger premises of Kingsway. By the 1980s demand for physical rehabilitation continued to grow, so a new home with improved facilities and greater capacity was needed, which is when we moved to Flint House in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. We have continued to evolved over the years, and we are now at the forefront of modern physical rehabilitation and mental health support, offering both serving and retired officers flexible, needs based programmes.
Flint House is a charity, and receives no financial help from the government. It is entirely funded by donations from those in the police service and their families. It is with these generous donations that we help and heal over 3,200 serving and retired police officers each year, in a residential setting.
Remembering Flint House in your will is a very special way of ensuring we can continue providing exceptional care to serving and retired police officers for future generations.
