Bupa Travel ServicesBupa Travel Services offers an extensive range of travel insurance schemes for when you are travelling abroad. Bupa TravelCover is available to individuals or families travelling for pleasure, or to companies who wish to cover their employees whilst they are overseas.  Bupa in the communityBupa encourages its employees to take an active role in the communities that are home to the company's offices and care homes. Bupa people help schoolchildren improve their reading by giving one-to-one attention to those who need a little extra help. The company's employees also renovate facilities such as shelters for the homeless or community theatres. The work has saved voluntary organisations many thousands of pounds and has raised large sums for charities. One highly successful project involves Bupa's care homes. The residents and their relatives, along with the employees and local volunteers, create 'sensory gardens'. These are designed to stimulate the senses of sight, hearing and smell. Parts of the grounds around the homes are transformed with the use of recycled materials to create pleasant surroundings with wind chimes, flowerbeds and fountains. Each year Bupa awards nearly £1.5 million in grants to the Bupa Foundation, an independent charity that supports projects to advance medical knowledge and improve treatments. A similar body, the Sanitas Foundation, has helped research and medical education in Spain for eight years. Bupa-sponsored eventsOne of the best ways of staying healthy is to help the body look after itself. All types of runners including elite athletes and wheelchair racers take part in the Bupa Great Run Series of events, the centrepiece of which is the Bupa Great North Run in Newcastle, the world's largest half-marathon with 50,000 participants from all over the world. With three further Great Runs, in Edinburgh, Manchester and Portsmouth, the events have raised more than £40 million for good causes. Bupa's vision is "Taking Care of the Lives in Our Hands". It's a succinct description of what its people do around the world every hour of every day. |
