Our Gala Ball arrives in Wales for the first time
1 November 2024

In October 2024 we brought our renowned Thin Blue Line UK Charity Ball to the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.


We were extremely excited to bring the ball to Wales for the first time and prior to the event we worked closely with officers from across several forces, including South Wales, Gwent and Dyfed Powys.


It was an evening filled with lots of laughter, love and fun, with over 200 guests attending not only from the UK but from across Europe. Chief Officers from South Wales Police with the Chief Constable being one of the nights keynote speakers. The event was sponsored by GEO AMEY and GCM Security, and numerous businesses from across Wales supported us by donating raffle and auction prizes too which we were incredibly grateful for.


It was our fifth annual ball and together with our guests we raised over £12,000 on the evening to help us to continue supporting officers' mental health and wellbeing. We also developed closer links with the Thin Blue Line Denmark and hosted two of their officers at the event.

Andrea raises a key question for senior policing leaders and politicians to ask themselves... Is it time to call the mental health crisis in policing... A Critical Incident?
