Blue Light Day held in Wadebridge
It aims to help this community understand what emergency services do and support available
Blue Light Day is taking place in Wadebridge to celebrate the work of emergency services across Cornwall.
The event at the Royal Cornwall Showground is in its eighteenth year.
It aims to help this community understand what emergency services do, how the services can support them and how to get help if they need it.
This year, it will bring together representatives from Devon & Cornwall Police, Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service, the NHS and the wider blue light family, including the RNLI, Coastguard, Search and Rescue, Blood Bikes as well as charities and local organisations.
Every year is welcomes hundreds of adults with learning disabilities and autism.
At last year's event, an individual with a learning disability asked: "If there was a fire in my house, someone can help put it out for me?"
Police officers attending the event will be speaking about the importance of breaking down barriers with different communities, to save lives, helping them understand the support they can access.
