On Tuesday, November 10, the Protective Services Group donated some older, unused uniforms to Uniforms 4 Kids.
Uniforms 4 Kids is a not-for-profit charity, founded by retired Queensland Police Service (QPS) officer Yvonne Pattinson OAM, aimed at re-purposing uniforms for disadvantaged children within the community.
Since the program’s inception, QPS uniforms have been repurposed for the children of First Nations Peoples across Australia and also children in the Pacific Islands and Papua New Guinea.
When launching the initiative in 2019, former Commissioner Ian Stewart said that through this program, QPS uniforms were continuing to serve and protect Queensland communities.
Protective Services Group Superintendent Keiryn Dermody said that she is so proud to have our otherwise discarded uniforms go to such a worthy cause.
