Morrisons extends 10% discount for NHS workers until September

Morrisons is extending its 10% discount for NHS workers until September as part of efforts to thank staff for their hard work during the pandemic.

The chain said the discount will also now be available online, allowing frontline workers to get 10% off their home delivery shop.

The initiative was first introduced in April to help support 1.5million NHS staff through the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

It said the move will be an additional thank you for those who are putting their lives at risk during the national emergency.

The scheme will now run until September 30, when it will be renewed.

David Potts, Morrisons chief executive said: "We want to thank everybody in the National Health Service for playing their part in the ongoing battle against the coronavirus. We hope this measure combined with our dedicated hours for NHS staff will make life a little easier at this very challenging time for them."

To benefit from the 10% discount, staff will need to show their NHS ID card at the checkout when completing their shop.

To redeem it online, you'll have to sign up for the Morrisons NHS Club where the discount will be added.

Morrisons has also introduced an NHS hour at the beginning of every day from 6am-7am.

On Sundays, the majority of stores open at 9am for hard working NHS workers to shop.

The chain has also promised to expand its click-and-collect services from a trial of just six stores to almost 280 by mid-June with further plans to "significantly increase" the number of home delivery slots over the coming weeks..

Click and collect at Morrisons began as a trial back in March.

Morrisons was also the first to introduce 'essentials' boxes in April, allowing households to buy pre-packed hampers, containing everything from food to toilet roll, from £25 each.
