Our first aim is to raise one million pounds within the first three years of being operational. Our funds will be directed to support personnel of the primary British emergency services - the police force, ambulance service and fire service - that have been criminally injured whilst in the line of duty.

Raising money for PC David Rathband's Blue Lamp Foundation comes in all different formats. We will be hosting sporting events and auctions as well as getting the public involved in things such as marathons and extreme sports in the future. We continue to be surprised by the generosity, originality and spirit of our followers - they will hopefully help us make a difference and each and every one of them can be proud of themselves.

Whether you choose to do your bit through our donation methods below or want to organise your own fundraising event, your contribution will provide immediate financial support to those emergency service personnel that have been criminally injured whilst protecting ordinary people like yourself.

PC David Rathband's Blue Lamp Foundation is strictly non-political. We have no affiliation with any political party and we do not endorse the use of our name for the promotion of any political viewpoint. The money that we raise at PC David Rathband's Blue Lamp Foundation is used to support injured personnel of the emergency services who have been the victim of a criminal act whilst fulfilling their duties.
