NHS workers are set for a festive treat with free beverages from Starbucks on December 6.

Starbucks is offering all NHS workers a free 'Tall' beverage.

This is the fourth year of the initiative, run in association with NHS Charities Together, with this years being larger than ever before.

Alex Rayner, General Manager at Starbucks UK, said: "We want to thank NHS staff across the UK for all the work they do and as a token of our appreciation, we are bringing back the free Tall beverage on December 6.

"We know how much NHS staff have enjoyed taking part in this special day and it’s something we look forward to year after year, so we are thrilled to see our partnership with NHS Charities Together flourish."

Starbucks will extend its offer by delivering Frappuccino, Mocha Flavoured Chilled Coffee, and Toffee Nut Latte Premium Instant Coffee to 19 hospitals without a nearby Starbucks branch.

Free Caramel Waffles are also being offered when a beverage is purchased at participating We Proudly Serve Starbucks locations inside NHS hospitals.

The initiative is part of an ongoing partnership with NHS Charities Together that helps support over 230 local NHS charities.

Louise McCathie, director of fundraising at NHS Charities Together, said: "This day is an opportunity to show how much NHS staff and their work are appreciated and valued across the UK."
