MORRISONS is offering those in the emergency services, care workers and armed forces who hold a Blue Light Card a 10 per cent discount on their shopping in stores nationwide.

The move follows on from the 10 per cent discount offered by Morrisons to NHS and school staff across the country.

The Blue Light Card is a recognised national scheme which provides card holders with a range of discounts from large national retailers to local businesses including holidays, days out and insurance.

The Morrisons discount, valid till after Christmas, is a thank you to the thousands of key workers including social care workers who have gone above and beyond their usual roles to provide care and support to the British public throughout the Coronavirus pandemic this year.
