The Blue Lamp Trust is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting and enhancing community safety throughout Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. With their Bobby Scheme, driver assessments and training, and constant efforts to protect everyday citizens, we wanted to highlight their work as our Member of the Month for August!
The Bobby Trust began life in 1998 as one man and one van, working out of a police station. It was funded by Hampshire Police together with Hampshire County Council. With a mixture of personalised advice and practical assistance, the scheme set out to help victims of burglary and the vulnerable to feel safe again, and at the same time, reduce the risk of repeat crimes. The fitters could replace locks, fit security chains and smoke alarms, and advise the clients on the best ways to keep their homes secure. After budget cuts in 2010 The Bobby Trust became something new- The Blue Lamp Trust we know today!
