What Our Members Say

“It's good to know that the emergency services are recognised and rewarded for their important work.”

— Derek, NHS Worker

“It is wonderful to feel recognised for the work that all of us do.”

— Michelle, Social Care Worker

“Love my blue light card, in particular blue light tickets. Seen some amazing shows through it, can't imagine being without my BLC now. Helps us treat ourselves!”

— Beth, NHS Worker

“BLC makes me feel part of a bigger community, with a sense of belonging, of pride, or communal goals.”

— Charlotte, Firefighter

“I feel it was lovely to include teachers recently. We are struggling like many to recruit in places where costs are high and this recognises that we do a job that isn’t always highly valued by others. It’s nice to have these discounts.”

— Vicky, Teacher

“Blue Light discount means I save money and makes me feel rewarded for all those years I dedicated to my career in the NHS”

— Catherine, NHS Worker

“Being a member means I can afford to treat my family to a lovely meal out for special occasions. Thank You Blue Light team!”

— Gemma, Ambulance Service

“It makes you feel part of a unique and valued community. To feel appreciated by having discounts every now and then is a perk when most of us do not work in a sector that has any benefits or perks.”

— Larah, Police
