Blue Light Card are so pleased to continue their commitment to the social care sector by welcoming in the homelessness workforce. Alidad Moghaddam, Tom Dalby and Stephen Denny are incredibly proud to partner with Homewards and The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales to support such a deserving community. 💙
Homewards aims to demonstrate that it's possible to end homelessness, making it rare, brief, and unrepeated. However, most people in the UK do not know what is currently being done to prevent and end homelessness. To inspire optimism that it can be ended, we want to raise awareness and celebrate the incredible work of the homelessness sector and the services available to those who need support. That's why we're delighted that the Blue Light Card has become a Homewards Activator and extended their discounts and benefit offers to the homelessness workforce. This new offer will give over 60,000 people access to discounts online and in-store across hundreds of brands and event venues across the UK. Our thanks go to Homeless Network Scotland, Homeless Connect, Cymorth Cymru and Homeless Link for all their help and guidance in making this happen. As part of this announcement, #Homewards Aberdeen, in partnership with Homeless Network Scotland, hosted a special event welcoming representatives from across the homelessness sector in Aberdeen. Prince William joined the event where he shared a personal thank you for the enormous contribution that the workforce make everyday, going above and beyond to help those most in need.

We had not one, but two VIP events at Blue Light Card in the last week! First, we kicked things off at Thorpe Park where our 200 guests got the chance to 'find their fearless' on their new rollercoaster, Hyperia 🎢 Then, on Tuesday night, we were at Wembley Stadium to watch England v Finland, where our 150 VIPs got to experience the pinnacle of football hospitality whilst watching the game. ⚽️ A huge thank you to Megan and Belinda at Thorpe Park, who looked after our VIPs and didn't let the rain distract from a fabulous day! And to Lachlan and the wonderful hospitality team at Wembley for looking after us so well at the match! Plus, big shout-out to Jennifer for organising and our lovely team for hosting the events Layla, Dominika, Lizzie, Jenna and Emma! 👏 #BlueLightTickets
