Starbucks is giving away free cups of coffee in Scotland today in a bid to show its gratitude for the "heroes" of the community.
For one day only on Wednesday December 7, NHS staff can go into the coffee shop and get any tall-sized beverage on the house as a mark of festive appreciation for the hard work they do.
The coffee chain has put on this offer every year since 2020 to say thank you for the year-round efforts made to help people who need it most.
Anyone who works in an NHS job can pop into a Starbucks and show their identity card to get a drink of their choice for free.
The one-day offer is part of an ongoing partnership between Starbucks UK and NHS Charities Together in which each UK Starbucks location is joined up with one of over 230 local NHS charities.
The money and resources are then used to help out staff, patients and communities all over the country.
Alex Rayner, General Manager at Starbucks UK said: "We hope this small gesture gives all NHS workers the opportunity to take a moment to enjoy this festive period and demonstrates our huge appreciation of the NHS for all that they do, all year round.
"There is more to come from our partnership with NHS Charities Together to help us give back to the local communities we serve, including NHS staff, with exciting new projects coming soon that we are incredibly proud of."
This holiday season Starbucks introduced its largest range of reusable merchandise collection, giving customers more options for receiving their drinks in reusable cups and offering a 25p discount the next time they bring their cup into the store.
NHS staff are also encouraged to make the switch by using a reusable cup to drink their free Tall beverage.
