Speaker Meeting - Gary, Blue Lamp Trust, Club Host Jean Fisher, Speaker Host Bob Evans
Tue, Sep 2nd 2025 at 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Since its foundation in 2010, the Trust has expanded considerably and now has a team of five Safety Technicians operating in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
The Blue Lamp Trust remains a non-profit organisation and is headed by a Board of Trustees. The Trustees have varied backgrounds – including emergency services, local government, charities and local businesses. This gives the Trust a great range of expertise to draw upon.
The Trust shares its premises with Hampshire & Isle of Wight Police and Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue in Eastleigh, further cementing its relationship with the emergency services. It works with local government, the voluntary sector and health including GPs, social care and charities to spread the message about the Bobby Scheme :-
A full crime prevention and fire safety survey is carried out by one of our trained, police-vetted fitters. They will provide both general and specific crime and fire prevention advice to improve home safety. When appropriate our fitters will fit such items as locks, spy-holes, door chains and smoke alarms, etc. This service is completely free.
