New benefits platform
As part of improving benefits to staff during these difficult times, The University has recently procured a new benefits and discounts platform with Vivup. As a result of this access to our current third party discounts platform with Wider Wallet will end at midnight Sunday 11th July. You will still be able to access a range of local offers via UniDiscounts until we launch the new Vivup platform week commencing 12th July.
For further information see staff benefits.
