About Red v Blue Trust Foundation
Raising funds through the Red v Blue challenge and allocating them as grants to registered charities that support emergency service personnel and their families across England and Wales.
Our Mission
Emergency service personnel—Police Officers, Firefighters, Paramedics, and NHS Frontline Workers—face unique pressures in their daily work. They witness traumatic events, work unsociable hours, and often put their own wellbeing second to serving others.
Red v Blue Trust Foundation exists to fund meaningful support for these individuals and their families. We do not provide support directly — instead, we make grants to registered charities and charitable organisations that deliver:
- Mental health services including counselling, therapy, and peer support programmes
- Rehabilitation support for personnel recovering from physical or psychological injury
- Financial hardship relief during periods of difficulty or crisis
- Welfare advice and family support services
- Bereavement assistance for families who have lost loved ones in service
Our charitable objects, as registered with the Charity Commission, focus exclusively on the public benefit of preserving and protecting the good health and relieving the needs of emergency service personnel and their immediate families in England and Wales.
Who We Support
We select one partner charity per emergency service to receive annual grants, covering four key sectors.
