While everyone in the country's doing their bit, it's our NHS staff, emergency services, and healthcare workers who are on the front line dealing with the spread of Covid-19 coronavirus – so I'm constantly updating this list of big chains that are now offering freebies and discounts to help NHS staff and care workers (and there are a few that emergency services personnel can get, too).

These offers are all new and in addition to what NHS/emergency staff can usually get (eg, with a Blue Light Card), and as more are still popping up, I'll try to keep the list as up-to-date as I can. Please be aware though, things could also be stopped at short notice, especially with the food and drinks, so there are no guarantees.

If you're unsure whether your service is covered, it's worth contacting the retailer directly (eg, via social media) before visiting.

For answers to consumer issues over Covid-19, see our Coronavirus Finance & Bills help, Coronavirus Employees' help, Self-Employed and SLC help, Universal Credit & Benefits help, Life-in-Lockdown help, and Coronavirus Travel Rights guide. For an overview, see Coronavirus Financial FAQs.
