Care UK is offering free access to Blue Light Card membership for its staff as part of a new partnership.
Blue Light Card is the UK’s only discount service for emergency services, NHS, social care workers, and armed forces. With over 3.5 million members across the country, Blue Light Card is partnered with over 13,000 retailers, providing savings, discounts, and benefits. In 2023, Blue Light Card saved its members over £330m.
Care UK staff already have access to an internal Perks rewards system, which offers reductions and cashback across hundreds of retailers. As well as introducing new deals and suppliers, the Blue Light Card can be used in addition to some of the existing deals on Perks.
Ianina Lucca, chief product officer of Blue Light Card said: “All of us at Blue Light Card deeply appreciate the dedicated service of those working in the care sector across the UK, acknowledging the sacrifices they make to care for our loved ones when they need it the most. The commitment and hard work demonstrated by these individuals contributes immeasurably to the health and quality of life for the most vulnerable people in our communities. Blue Light Card is our way of saying thank you to those who keep us all healthy, safe and supported.”
Sharon Quinn, head of reward at Care UK, said: “I am very proud that Care UK is the first care provider to partner with Blue Light Card to offer free membership to our colleagues.
“Colleagues across the UK work in all sorts of roles to support residents and ensure they are living fulfilling lives. It’s important that we show our appreciation for their hard work in as many ways as possible – whether that’s with our Colleague Appreciation Week, through development and progression opportunities, or making sure they have free access to discounts through the Blue Light Card.”
