BlueLightCamp was born as an idea by Sasha (@sasha_taylor) from the ashes of an online #nhssms discussion in relation to how social media was being used during the 2011 disorders in some UK cities.
Early in 2012 Sasha contacted other social media experts to form the founding group:
- Paul Coxon (@paulcoxo81),
- Ben Proctor (@likeaword) and
- David White (@beaker9).
Initial supporters of the new idea included
- Dominic Campbell (@FutureGov),
- Lucy McPhail, (BAPCO Event Director) and
- Steph Gray (@ukgovcamp).
