Step 1: What is your employment status?
Step 2: What organisation do you work in?
Staff employed by organisations and NGOs that work directly on homelessness across the UK are eligible. Additionally, those working in wider organisations with roles directly addressing homelessness are also eligible.
Currently, those who volunteer for homelessness-related work are not eligible for a Blue Light Card. We are focusing on individuals who are employed full-time or part-time by organisations dedicated to homelessness.
Blue Light Card offers flexibility with discounts available both online and in-store. Many discounts are available throughout the year, so workers can make the most of them when it’s most convenient for them.
Blue Light Card is easy to access via a physical card or our mobile app, making it convenient for police workers to access discounts on the go.
