Stagecoach is giving healthcare workers the chance to win a year's free travel, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the NHS.

The giveaway is taking place from July 5-12 on the operator’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram channels by asking followers to nominate someone who works for the NHS who will be put into a prize draw for the chance to win a year's free travel.

Stagecoach has supported the NHS previously, partnering with it on an NHS bus roadshow raising awareness on how to spot the signs of cancer, as well as partnering with over 20 NHS trusts to offer discounted travel for staff.

Harriet Hughes-Payne, sales and marketing director for Stagecoach, said: “The NHS are a key to our local communities, and we are proud to serve staff and patients across the country, helping them get to their appointments or jobs supporting the NHS.  

“We wanted to mark this occasion by offering a token of our appreciation to someone who works for the NHS by gifting them a year’s free travel and we look forward to finding out who the deserving winner will be.”
