Staff benefits and wellbeing update

11 Aug 2021

More from Vivup, Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre and upcoming wellbeing courses....

Vivup

You are now able to access a new Lifestyle Savings staff benefit from our partner Vivup. This new platform brings together all our payroll benefits, discounts and wellbeing services all in one place, so you can be easily signposted to the information and support you need.

Whatever you’ve got your eye on, get it for less with big discounts from best-loved brands like Currys PC World, Argos, Sainsbury’s, John Lewis, Uber Eats, iTunes and Halfords - redeemable now through your Lifestyle Savings staff benefit!

 The majority of these are instant digital codes that make it easy for you use in store and online.  The in-store discounts can be presented in store on a phone screen to be scanned at the checkout or simply printed. Always check the T&Cs.

To access these savings, you simply need to register with vivup.co.uk

As well as the savings the Vivup platform has a help and support section. This highlights some of our key in-house wellbeing benefits as well as Vivup’s wellbeing offerings.

Cycle to Work Scheme

From Thursday 19th August we are switching to Vivup’s cycle to work scheme. More information will be shared next week!

Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre

You can now save 25% when booking tickets online for Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre until 31 December 2021. You can also save 10% in the Jodrell Bank Gift Shop and Planet Café. There’s no better time to take a trip to the Discovery Centre for what promises to be a fascinating day out!
