Blue Light Card holders will be able to get double the amount of discount at a major clothing retailer for a limited amount of time.

JD Sports is offering emergency workers a 20% discount on full-priced items for summer.

The retailer normally offers a discount of 10% to Blue Light Card Holders, but for a 'summer treat', JD Sports has doubled the offer.

The discount means holders of the card will be able to get brands sold in JD Sports, like Nike, Adidas, New Balance and more.

Sharing examples of what Blue Light Holders will be able to buy, JD Sports revealed that you can get Nike Air Max 95 for £140 (RRP £175) or the Birkenstock Arizona EVA Women's for £40 (RRP £50).
