Starbucks has announced that all NHS staff will be able to claim a free tall beverage on Wednesday, December 15.

Starbucks wants to thank NHS staff for their work this year.

The offer is available all day for one day only and NHS staff can order any tall beverage of their choice.

The deal is available in stores across England, Scotland and Wales when a valid work identity card is shown in-store.

Customers can choose any tall beverage, from festive favourites to iced beverages.

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.”

Alex Rayner, general manager, Starbucks UK, said, “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.”

Starbucks also offers Blue Light Card discounts of 10% to all NHS staff and frontline workers.

To further support NHS Charities Together, in the run up to Christmas Starbucks customers are able to donate optional sums of £3, £5 or £10 via QR codes in stores.

NHS workers are also encouraged to make the change by bringing in their own reusable cup to enjoy their free Tall beverage.
