Transformative retreats with

Bluelight Wellbeing

For the first time ever in Autumn 2025, Thin Blue Line UK proudly funded several places to enable a number of police officers to attend a unique wellbeing retreat, created and led by the inspirational Hannah Bailey of Blue Light Wellbeing. This new initiative marks an important step forward in our unwavering commitment to supporting officers’ mental health and wellbeing.

The retreat welcomed both serving and recently retired officers who had applied to attend. Through the power of nature and shared experiences, the event proved to be an overwhelming success. One officer shared their heartfelt feedback with the charity following the conclusion of the retreat writing... “Thank you, Thin Blue Line UK, for funding my place and giving me the chance to step away, reset, and reconnect. The Blue Light Wellbeing retreat was a gift I didn’t know I needed. I’ve come away with renewed balance and resilience. Your charity, working with the incredible Hannah Bailey, has created something truly special. As a serving officer, thank you for supporting my mental health and the wellbeing of my colleagues and me”.

Here at Thin Blue Line UK we passionately believe that these retreats offer something truly transformative, a safe space where officers can realise they are not alone, connect with others who understand their experiences, and rediscover hope and resilience. It’s about creating opportunities for self-recovery and healing.

At the heart of this experience is a powerful series of messages which are captured in a video created by Hannah following the retreat. This video perfectly explains why these retreats exist and why, as a charity, we remain committed to providing opportunities like this—experiences that remind officers that healing is possible and support is always within reach.
