Big savings could be round the corner if you work in the emergency services, NHS, social care, defence or are a foster carer. Blue Light Card 's annual Big Blue Weekend is taking place from 1-4 July this year, and organisers are promising savings of up to 35% in retail, travel and beauty.
The four-day event will take place in the lead up to the NHS’ birthday on the 5th July, and will include time-limited discounts from the likes of Charlotte Tilbury and Hotels.com, as well as big prizes to be won including a stay at Warwick Castle and a Butlin’s Family Holiday. To get your hands on the deals, you must be a Blue Light Card holder, which allows members to save money all-year round. Registering 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 thrilled to announce our very first Big Blue Weekend, allowing us and our partners to demonstrate our continued thanks and appreciation to those that give so much to keep the nation safe and healthy. With the summer holidays fast approaching, and especially in light of the cost of living crisis, we hope that this weekend will help our members out with treats and days out that otherwise may not have been possible. And for some lucky members of the Blue Light community, a winning competition entry may mean a family break or trip to London.”
