Collaborative communities

To create and support healthy communities is part of our DNA. We're built on a collaborative community model. This means we aim to support people and businesses to thrive.

Shared value

As we build a thriving business, we can invest our pre-tax profits into communities in need. This provides access to healthcare for those who can't afford it.And it helps to reduce pressure on the NHS.

Healthy planet

Our future health relies on the health of our planet. We're citizens of the global community and responsible for our planet's fate. We want to help protect our planet's resources and its ecosystem. After all, humans thrive on a thriving planet.

Healthy people

We exist to help people access healthcare. That's why we're passionate about helping our colleagues and customers to stay healthy and thrive. We do this through our extensive colleague wellbeing programme. And by offering products which remove barriers to healthcare.

Collaborative communities

We support our Andover and Winchester communities by improving access to healthcare. We do this through charitable giving and colleague volunteering.

 

Social prescribing in Andover

Our work with Unity builds bridges between doctors, patients and community groups. GPs refer patients to a Unity link worker. Based on a person's needs, Unity signpost them to local support groups. These groups deliver activities which contribute to people's wellbeing. This helps reduce the pressure on our NHS GP surgeries.

 

Counselling for young people

We've been supporting Andover Mind since 2017. They provide much-needed youth counselling services in Andover. In 2019, we learnt that there was an eight-month wait list for youth counselling in Winchester. So we've extended our support with Andover Mind to cover Winchester. This improves access to counselling for young people. Which makes it easier and quicker to get the support they need.

 

Colleague volunteering scheme

Volunteering is part of our way of being. All our employees are encouraged to support local causes. They can volunteer up to three working days per person, per year. We're lucky to have a wide spectrum of talent across our business. What better way to share it than to support a healthy local cause?

Shared value

Everyone deserves access to the health services they need. That's why we exist. Sometimes, circumstances get in the way. People don't always have the knowledge or access to information they need to lead a healthy lifestyle. We work with like-minded organisations to break down these barriers. Together, we build foundations for lifelong healthy habits. And we create prospects for a better future.

 

Educating children under 11 to have good oral health

Our work with Teeth Team teaches children about the importance of good oral health. The project aims to improve the dental health of children across the country.

Poor oral health is one of the main reasons for school absence. And the single biggest reason children are admitted to hospital.

Teeth Team is a school-based supervised tooth-brushing programme. Children receive dental assessments and applications of fluoride varnish. Teeth Team is a working partnership between local dental practices, government, schools and parents.

 

More shared value projects coming soon

We'll be introducing additional shared value schemes soon.

Healthy planet

We're working to improve our global community. We only get one chance with our planet. And we believe it's our duty to reduce our environmental impact.

 

We're making our business operations more sustainable

Working with Bioregional, we examined our business' environmental impact. We're focusing on reducing our carbon footprint and resource use. And already, we're making great progress.

 

Sustainable working environments

We're continuing to create a modern working environment for our colleagues. This is providing a healthier and more flexible space.

We've been installing LED lighting in our buildings. We've replaced our office carpets with ones made using 100% green energy and from 100% recycled materials. We've used recycled work surfaces in social areas. And we continue to upcycle office furniture where we can.
