NHS workers travel free meals Uber Christmas: NHS Workers Get Free Uber Travel And Meals During Christmas.

NHS workers can get free rides and meals from Uber during the festive season.

Anyone with an NHS email address can claim two trips for £ 10 to and from work, or two meals for £ 10 with Uber Eats.

This offer is available to a large number of NHS employees who work 24 hours a day, at a time when public transport is closed or closed during Christmas week.

This year, the offer has been extended to Uber Eats, giving everyone from doctors and nurses a little less to worry about after coming home after a long shift.

To encourage as many people as possible to sign up, former Junior Physician-turned-comedian and best-selling author, Adam Kay, has teamed up with Uber to give away 1,000 copies of his book, "Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas". .

The festive follow-up to the acclaimed "This is going to hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor" offers the life story of a junior doctor with journal entries on Christmas Eve.

It also offers a letter of love from Adam Kay to all those who spend their festive season on the front line.

Copies will be available for passengers to take home for free to Uber in London, Manchester and Birmingham, and each book will contain a card with details on how NHS staff can register for the offer.

Supply demand is expected to be high as more than 400,000 NHS employees last year spent time with loved ones to care for patients and their families on Christmas day alone.

Uber Regional Manager for Northern and Eastern Europe, Jamie Heywood, said: "We all know someone who works tirelessly over Christmas to keep the NHS running and this is our say thank you.

"For the third year, we provide NHS doctors, nurses and support staff with a friendly helping hand to get back and forth from work for Christmas, when public transport is limited.

"This year, it's great to extend the offer to provide a free lunch to help make those changes a little easier."

It is estimated that 82,000 nurses and 55,000 nursing assistants will work in hospitals, while 12,000 midwives will receive 1,400 babies.

Mr. Kay added: "While eating his carbohydrate body weight this Christmas, almost half a million NHS employees will be in the rooms.

"After working for many Christmas as a junior doctor, I am well aware of how far a kind gesture can come this time of year."

"If you are front-line this Christmas, or you know someone who is, make sure you sign up for this thank you show."

NHS staff can claim your two free Uber trips or Uber Eats codes by clicking here and entering your official NHS email address before 9 a.m. on Friday, December 20.

Brides and Grooms Abandoned in Limbo by Arizona Wedding Place

Several Valley couples who are getting married soon say they are worried they have lost the thousands of dollars they invested in their wedding site.

The NOAH Event Center in Chandler, Arizona, emailed couples who booked Cooper and Loop 202 venues saying they were canceling their long-awaited events.

"I honestly had to re-read it. I was like, 'What? It's real? You know when.'"

Stephenson says he paid the cost of the site last December by paying more than $ 10,000 to rent the entire building at night and for NOAH to offer waiters for his big day.

"It really stinks," he added. "This is like a blow to the face for all of us."

Stephenson says NOAH's story doesn't quite fit.

"I made sure to pick a company that I thought was solid because they have 30 other buildings across the United States," he said.

Court records show NOAH went bankrupt in Utah in May, listing more than a dozen NOAH locations nationwide. However, the email sent to customers this month offers a different explanation behind the sudden closing and last minute warning.

"Our building is older and requires a lot of upgrades," wrote Kate Jensen, Chandler's NOAH 's vice president of sales. "After much discussion with the site's owners, they have decided to sell the building, and therefore we cannot organize their event."

"Our staff has not been aware of our discussions with the building owners until this weekend," Jensen added. "They are not to blame and they have no additional information."

However, the email mentioned the NOAH bankruptcy filing, but stated that it is the only reason the company can offer partial refunds. "In May, our company filed for Chapter 11. Bankruptcy, as such, the court will only allow us to pay up to $ 3,025 before the restructuring."

That's just 30% of the $ 10,000 that Stephenson paid.

"It infuriates me because I feel like they did it on purpose when it is so close to everyone's date and they can't even do anything." "Ours is literally three months away, I just sent the invitations and I never would have guessed it.

Other couples say NOAH is still booking tours and they worry that the company may still be taking money from customers.

Elizabeth Jimenez and Alan Castro say they received a confirmation email for a tour of Chandler's location on December 12. They showed up Wednesday to find locked doors and no employees inside.

"We started talking to them last week, trying to book a tour of the venue to see if we would like to celebrate our wedding here," said Castro. "Everything went as usual, the booking appointment, they emailed us, texted us and just didn't get a response when we went knocking on the door."

LAVEEN's Eric Mia says he continued to pay for their wedding, scheduled for September 2020. Their last payment was in November, months after NOAH went bankrupt.
