It’s Our Birthday!

The Bobby Scheme

August 18, 2025

Celebrating 25 Years of The Bobby Scheme

This year marks a truly special milestone – The Bobby Scheme is celebrating its 25th birthday! For a quarter of a century, we’ve been working tirelessly across Cambridgeshire to protect vulnerable people, offering safety, security, and peace of mind in their own homes.

Since 2001, our dedicated team has carried out thousands of free home visits, installing vital security devices, offering expert safety advice, and helping prevent scams. Every knock on a door, every lock installed, and every conversation over a cup of tea has meant reassurance for someone who needs it most.

But our mission doesn’t stop here. To celebrate 25 impactful years, we’ve launched a special campaign: raising £25,000 to keep vulnerable people safe in their homes — including those who may not currently qualify for help. Because at the heart of everything we do is one simple belief: “No one should be left without help in their time of need.”

How you can join the celebration

Supporting our birthday campaign can be fun, simple, and truly life-changing for someone in your community. You could:

  • Run a sponsored race or challenge yourself with a personal fundraiser.
  • Host an event to bring friends, family, or colleagues together for a good cause.
  • Make a donation directly to our campaign.
  • Perhaps just as importantly — help spread the word so others know where to turn.

Every contribution, no matter how big or small, fuels our ability to continue securing homes and building safer communities across Cambridgeshire.

Donate Today

Here’s to 25 years of The Bobby Scheme — and the many more milestones yet to come.
