Over three million workers to get FREE takeaway delivery for a year – see the full list of jobs that qualify

MORE than three million workers are now able to get free takeaway delivery for a year.

Not only do members get free delivery but also access to other special offers and deals from a range of companies.

Deliveroo and Blue Light Card have teamed up to offer free Deliveroo Plus Silver membership to essential workers in the UK.

In the scheme, Blue Light Card members – which is available to emergency service workers, NHS staff, teachers, social care workers and members of the armed forces – can get free delivery on all Deliveroo orders for 12 months as well as other deals and discounts.

Deliveroo Plus Silver normally costs £3.49 a month. That’s a saving of just under £42 for the entire year.

Under the terms of the deal, those who sign up get free Deliveroo Plus Silver membership for 12 months which gets them free delivery through the app on eligible orders worth £15 or more from restaurants and £25 from retail stores.

Exclusive discounts from major brands such as Nando’s, Wagamama, Pho, Giggling Squid, Kokoro, Gail’s Bakery, Waitrose, Wingstop, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Co-op, Boots, and others are also on offer.

Also on offer is access to localised deals and Deliveroo Rewards, where members can earn £8 off their 4th order when they make three orders at the same place within 30 days.

Members can also access exclusive Deliveroo Plus-only offers tailored to their local area all year round.

They’ll also join the Deliveroo Rewards programme, which means if they make three orders at the same place within 30 days, they’ll get £8 off their 4th order.

The scheme is designed to give a helping hand to essential workers, with many of those working unpredictable or long hours, and provides round-the-clock access to meals and essentials delivered right to their door or workplace.

In 2023, the 4.1million existing Blue Light Card members saved more than £330million through various offers and discounts.

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, said “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.

“This partnership with Blue Light Card and Deliveroo enables us to give back to essential workers from across the community and express our utmost appreciation for their incredible work every day.

“Whether placing an order to their home or place of work, we can’t wait to make it even more convenient for the UK’s essential service workers to get what they want and need delivered to their doorstep.”

Membership to Blue Light Card for access to market-leading discounts and rewards is quick and easy.

Those employed by organisations and non-government organisations that work directly on homelessness across the UK are also eligible.
