Essential workers with Blue Light Card offered free Deliveroo delivery

Deliveroo and Blue Light Card have joined forces, offering free delivery to all essential workers across the UK for twelve months. 

The partnership will see Blue Light Card members - including emergency staff, NHS staff, social care workers, teachers and the armed forces - receive free delivery for a year, as well as a range of exclusive deals and discounts. 

The initiative has been designed to make life easier for essential workers, many of whom work unpredictable hours, by providing round-the-clock access to meals and essentials. 

As the only delivery app to partner with Blue Light Card, which has over four million members, Deliveroo's Plus Silver membership will provide free delivery on eligible orders over £15 from restaurants and £25 from retail stores. 

Essential workers can also enjoy exclusive discounts from popular health and beauty retailers and food establishments such as Boots, Nando's, Sainsbury's, Waitrose, GAIL's Bakery and many more. 

Deliveroo Plus Silver members are always granted access to localised deals and Deliveroo Rewards, where members can earn £8 off their fourth order when they place three orders at the same restaurant or store within a 30-day period.

Members can also cash in on free delivery when they order from their favourite restaurants, grocers or retailers.

Blue Light Card, the UK's leading discount provider for essential workers, is partnered with over 13,000 retailers across the nation, providing specialised savings that aren't often available to the wider public. 

In 2023, Blue Light Card saved its members over £330 million in total, as well as providing additional access to exclusive member events, competitions and free event tickets.

Andy Collins, COO from Blue Light Card said: 'By offering free Deliveroo Plus Silver, we're proud to provide Blue Light members not only with a range of exclusive offers, but with greater convenience too - whether they’re ordering to their home or workplace. 

'For many shift workers, being able to get their favourite meals or essentials delivered round-the-clock is a game-changer, so this unique partnership with Deliveroo is another way for us to show our hardworking and dedicated community that we’re there for them 24/7.'

Caroline Harris, VP of Marketing at Deliveroo, UKI, added: 'We are very excited to announce this first-of-a-kind partnership for Deliveroo with Blue Light Card, which aims to give back to their community members by offering them Deliveroo Plus Silver for free. 

'We're proud to reward Blue Light members with free delivery when they order from their favourite neighbourhood restaurants, grocers, and retailers, as well as exclusive members-only discounts.'

Signing up to Blue Light Card is quick and easy - and only costs £4.99 for a two-year membership.

Those employed by organisations and non-government organisations that work directly on homelessness across the UK are also eligible. Register online at www.bluelightcard.co.uk.
