News and events
Community Connections is always keen to get as many BUPA staff fundraising as possible, but understands that it is not always easy to know what charity to support. In light of this, Community Connections created a calendar of events for BUPA staff representing BUPA's key areas of focus of health and care for older people.
With so much activity taking place within the community there is always a great deal for the Community Connections team to shout about. See the news archive to read the latest news from the department.
