Thin Blue Line UK is proud to announce a heartfelt new partnership with Bluelight Consultancy, led by its founder and director, Brendan O’Brien. In a generous and deeply compassionate move, Brendan has nominated 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 to attend the transformative Bluelight Retreat every year, 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 the thin blue line to protect their communities 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.

The impact of these retreats is profound, and here at Thin Blue Line UK, we firmly believe in the benefits they offer to the officers who attend. This is clearly reflected in the words of an officer who recently took part in a retreat: 

“This weekend has changed me; I can feel it already... I would like to thank the Thin Blue Line UK 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.”

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.

At Thin Blue Line UK, we are continually humbled by the generosity of those who support our mission. This partnership with Bluelight Consultancy not only represents a financial commitment but a genuine recognition of the service and sacrifice of our police officers.

We extend our deepest thanks to Brendan and the entire Bluelight Consultancy team for their belief in our cause and their unwavering compassion for the policing community.

Together, we are helping more officers find rest, reflection, and the resilience to move forward.
