On Wednesday 19th November 2025 we gathered for the Police Pagan Association‘s Annual General Meeting – an opportunity not just to plan ahead, but to reflect on the incredible work we’ve already achieved throughout 2025.
This year has demonstrated once again that the PPA consistently punches above its weight. Despite being a small and highly specialised staff network, our impact across UK policing has been significant – from providing national training and guidance, to supporting forces with religious literacy, to ensuring Pagan voices are represented in key strategic spaces. Our work continues to show what a passionate, dedicated community can accomplish when it stands together.
At the AGM we presented the PPA Business Plan 2026–2029, setting out our strategic priorities for the next three years. The plan strengthens our alignment with National Police Chiefs’ Council Staff Network Principles, ensuring that our work is professional, accountable, collaborative, and focused on the needs of both our members and the wider service.
We also introduced our new Safeguarding Policy, which emphasises the proactive safeguarding of Pagan spaces and aligns directly with national VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) initiatives. This marks a significant evolution in how we support safe participation in all Pagan contexts – from informal moots to established ritual groups – and reinforces our commitment to creating environments where everyone feels secure, respected, and valued.
A heartfelt congratulations to the newly elected members of our Executive Leadership Team. Thank you for stepping forward to lead, inspire, and continue the important work of the PPA. Your contributions will play a vital role as we enter a new chapter of growth and development.
Finally, sincere thanks to the Police Federation of England and Wales for generously hosting us at their headquarters. Your support allowed us to meet, plan, and collaborate in a welcoming and professional space.
Here’s to the year ahead – rooted in community, strengthened by shared purpose, and guided by the values that make the Police Pagan Association such a distinctive and impactful part of UK policing.
