Are you struggling with your sleep pattern?

A lack of sleep can be associated with all kinds of negative health consequences including increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. 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.

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.

Voluntary activities should be of mutual benefit to the employee, the University and the community. This policy applies to all substantive members of Loughborough University staff, in all projects approved by the University.
