Morrisons has launched a new delivery service for vulnerable people struggling to book slots

If you've tried to book a shopping delivery slot online recently, you'll know it's not the easiest feat in the world.

Despite an increased number of delivery drivers on the roads, many people have found it impossible to secure themselves a slot with the major UK supermarkets - something which has become problematic for the most vulnerable people trying to get essentials.

Now Morrisons is trying to make it easier for those most in need to order items for delivery, by launching a brand new service.

To try and tackle the issue, Morrisons has said that it will be launching a new 'takeaway' list of 47 essential items, which shoppers will be able to order from over the phone. Shoppers will be able to pay using either a card or by mobile phone.

An employee at a local store will then make a delivery the next day.

Morrisons has said the following products will be on offer:

  • Milk - 2 pints
  • Butter
  • Cheese
  • Eggs
  • Bread
  • Bananas
  • Oranges
  • Apples
  • Grapes
  • Potatoes
  • Broccoli
  • Tomatoes
  • Carrots
  • Lettuce
  • Cucumber
  • Chicken Breast Fillets
  • Unsmoked Bacon
  • Sausages
  • Corned Beef
  • Beef Mince
  • Pasta
  • Beef Oxo Cubes
  • Beef Gravy Granules
  • Ready Salted Crisps Multipack
  • Cornflakes
  • Custard Creams
  • Chopped Tomatoes
  • Tomato Soup
  • Marmalade
  • Self Raising Flour
  • Sugar
  • Tea
  • Coffee
  • Diet Lemonade
  • Diet Coke
  • Chips
  • Scampi
  • Peas
  • Cottage Pie
  • Lasagne
  • Toilet Roll
  • Kitchen Roll
  • Ariel Liquid
  • Bleach

Speaking about the new service, David Potts, Morrisons chief executive said: "This new telephone service will ensure that more people who can’t leave their home to go shopping will be able to get a delivery."
