Starbucks is giving away free hot drinks to all NHS staff workers in Scotland today as a way to say thank you for all their hard work.
The exclusive deal is available on Wednesday and will allow all NHS staff to order one of the coffee chain's tall hot drinks completely free of charge by showing their work identity card.
Starbucks announced that the exclusive deal will only be available for one day across all stores in Scotland.
The chain says NHS staff can choose any tall beverage from their menu of hand-crafted coffees - including festive favourites, espresso based classics and iced coffees.
The offer is part of an ongoing partnership between Starbucks and NHS Charities Together, which sees each Starbucks store across Great Britain paired with one of over 230 local NHS charities, to help support staff, patients, and communities across the UK.
Support provided by NHS Charities Together includes counselling, helplines, and peer-to-peer support for staff, as well as projects that support the long-term recovery of the NHS, and reduce health inequalities in local communities.
Ellie Orton OBE, Chief Executive at NHS Charities Together, said, “We’re incredibly grateful for the continued support from Starbucks.
"Their free Tall beverage initiative and in-store fundraising enable employees and customers everywhere to show their appreciation and thanks to NHS workers and can make a vital difference.
"Winter is always an incredibly challenging time for the NHS – and this is one of the toughest ever – which is why ongoing public support is so important.”
The popular coffee chain has a long-standing history of supporting the NHS, with other offers including a 10% discount to NHS and front line staff member back in 2018.
Alex Rayner, Starbucks UK general manager added: “Starbucks is committed to strengthening the communities we serve in, and as part of our ongoing partnership with NHS Charities Together we wanted to say a huge festive thank you to the NHS staff that live and work in our communities.”
Regular Starbucks customers are also able to donate optional sums of £3, £5, or £10 via QR codes to NHS Charities Together in-store throughout December.
