One of more recent partnerships has been with Bluelight Consultancy, led by its founder and ex-Police Officer, Brendan O’Brien. In a generous and deeply compassionate move, Brendan has also nominated our charity, Thin Blue Line UK as Bluelight Consultancy’s chosen charity.

Following thoughtful conversations between Brendan and the Trustees of Thin Blue Line UK, this partnership will now enable five additional serving or former police officers each year to attend the transformative Bluelight Retreat led by the inspirational Hannah Bailey. A former police officer herself, Hannah is now a highly qualified therapist whose tireless dedication to the wellbeing of those who serve is nothing short of extraordinary. She is joined by Andy Labrum, a retired dog sergeant and expert in guiding officers through career transition and change management. Together, they deliver a retreat experience that is both healing and empowering.

We are proud of this new partnership, and the impact of these retreats is profound, as expressed by the officers who have attended. We strongly believe that these testimonies capture the essence of what Thin Blue Line UK and Bluelight Consultancy are striving for: real, lasting support for officers who give so much of themselves in the line of duty. Together, we are helping more officers find rest, reflection, and the resilience to move forward...

“This weekend has changed me; I can feel it already... I would like to thank the Thin Blue Line for providing me with this opportunity. It really did feel like a thank you for your service.”

“Some of these people have become my best friends. The information, the activities, the shared stories – it was life-changing.”
