How overheating Brits can unlock savings on heatwave essentials

With temperatures set to soar across the UK this week, many households are looking for ways to stay cool and comfortable during the hot weather.

As households get ready for the warm spell, demand for cooling products is already rising. Searches for “bedroom fans” increased by 69% between Wednesday and Thursday last week, as Brits look for ways to beat the heat at home.

Blue Light Card (BLC), the UK’s dedicated rewards service for those working in and retired from the emergency services, NHS, social care sector, teaching community and the armed forces is helping members manage the cost of preparing their homes for the warmer weather.

For frontline workers – many of which work long hours in demanding roles – a cool, comfortable home is especially important, providing a place to rest and relax between vital work times.

 

Blue Light Card members can access exclusive savings on a range of home, garden and summer essentials including:

Rebecca Clarke, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Blue Light Card, said:

“While many of us look forward to warmer weather and spending much-deserved time with friends and family in the sunshine, we know that rising temperatures can also make everyday life more uncomfortable – especially for those working long hours on the frontline.

“These offers are one small way of saying thank you to our members, helping make it more enjoyable and affordable to stay cool and comfortable at home, so they can properly rest and recharge after everything they do for the rest of us.”
