And the teams of kind hearted drivers from Nelson and Burnley based Delta Taxis will also drop off the groceries for the vital workers.

The company made the decision to help after many NHS staff were left without vital supplies for themselves and their families after panic buyers raided supermarket shelves leaving very little for others.

And the Delta drivers have said they will only charge for the shopping, delivery will be free.
