Big savings could be around the corner if you work in the emergency services, NHS, social services, defense or are a foster parent. Blue Light Card’s annual Big Blue Weekend runs July 1-4 this year, and organizers are promising savings of up to 35% across retail, travel and beauty.
The four-day event will take place ahead of the NHS anniversary on July 5 and will include time-limited discounts from Charlotte Tilbury and Hotels.com, as well as big prizes up for grabs, including a stay at Warwick Castle and skip a family vacation at Butlin’s. To get your hands on the offers you need to be a holder of the Blue Light Card, which allows members to save money all year round. Signing up for a Blue Light Card is quick and easy and can be done online at www.bluelightcard.co.uk.
A card costs £4.99 and is valid for two years. A wide variety of emergency services, NHS, social care sector and armed forces are eligible to apply, and membership is also open to charities such as Blood Bikes, the Red Cross and the RNLI.

Tom Dalby, CEO of Blue Light Card, said: “We are delighted to announce our first ever Big Blue Weekend, allowing us and our partners to demonstrate our continued thanks and appreciation to those who give so much to ensure the national safety and health. With summer vacation fast approaching, and especially in light of the cost of living crisis, we hope this weekend will help our members with treats and outings that otherwise might not have not been possible. And for some lucky members of the Blue Light community, a winning contest entry may mean a family break or a trip to London.
