About usA travel company just for the blue light community
Why we existNot just a travel platform. A mission that matters
Blue Light Escapes is a members-only travel and wellness company exclusively for the blue light and armed forces community in the UK, on a mission to help tackle stress and burnout by making rest and recovery more personal and affordable.
We focus on quality over volume. We handpick every escape on our platform from trusted, independent hosts who genuinely want to give back, offering meaningful discounts without restrictive terms. In return, hosts welcome verified guests booking with purpose.
Born from the frontline, we exist to help our members take regular, high-quality breaks at lower prices, so they can switch off, recharge and spend quality time with the people who matter most.

Our storyBuilt by the community, for the community
Our founder, Jonathan, spent over a decade as a frontline police officer. He loved helping people when they needed it most, but years of trauma, loss, stress and living in a constant state of fight-or-flight took a toll on his wellbeing.
Jonathan experienced burnout. He had spent years pushing on, not processing trauma and neglecting the self-care needed to stay well. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
Taking time away to pause, reflect and seek support changed everything. It reinforced two powerful lessons: the importance of saying “I’m not okay” and how essential regular breaks are for switching off, recharging and spending quality time with loved ones.
From that difficult chapter came something positive… the beginning of Blue Light Escapes and a mission to help others like him find space to pause, recharge and reconnect with the people who matter most.
