Often, people who struggle with their sleep are unconsciously doing something in their everyday life that is negatively impacting their ability to sleep at night.

Cycle to work

The University is committed to creating a green campus and promoting health and fitness amongst employees. In support of this we run a scheme to help employees with the cost of purchasing a bicycle and related equipment, where you can save up to 42% on the cost of a bicycle. So, if you’re considering cycling to work, we could save you some serious money.

The Cycle2Work scheme is only available to employees who have completed six months service with the University. For more information on the scheme visit the Cycle2Work website.

Fruit Routes
