Staff benefits and wellbeing update

05 Oct 2022

Support Food on Campus, information from Prevent Breast Cancer on how to be breast aware and how to access discounts

We are supporting FoodOnCampus in their campaign to get more colleagues to use their outlets!

Did you know:

  • They are the ethical choice – our colleagues are paid the Real Living Wage, coffee is Fairtrade and fully traceable, food is sourced locally where possible – for instance, pastries from Barbakan deli and social enterprise HM Pasties
  • You can receive 10% off with FoodInAdvance – register online then top up your staff cards at tills or online
  • The £5 meal deal includes a hot drink – a must-have in this rainy weather!
  • Why not have your next meeting in a FoodOnCampus outlet?

Financial wellbeing

The financial wellbeing page is constantly being updated to ensure useful information in these difficult times. There is now a section signposting hints and tips. These include on campus ways to save and signposting to national websites that specialise in various aspects of financial wellness.

Discounts

Make use of Vivup lifestyle discounts and UniDiscounts to help save day to day. With Vivup you can save each time you go to the supermarket with Vivup e-vouchers enabling you to save between 4-7% depending on your choice of supermarket. If your weekly shop is £100 per week and you receive 5% off each time you shop, you will save £260 per year. It’s so easy with e-vouchers.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is always breast cancer awareness month. In the video below, our own Professor Cliona Kirwan, who is also a breast surgeon at Wythenshawe Hospital, shares a video for Prevent Breast Cancer. Take time out of your schedule to get breast aware each month.
