We're working with partners to:
Educate children, young people and teachers on people and planet health
Empower them to take action with practical programmes for their schools and local area
Encourage a ripple effect of knowledge to their families and networks
Healthy Planet. Healthy People.
The Bupa Foundation partners with Keep Britain Tidy, to help create even more Eco Schools.
We’re working together to help young people and teachers feel confident about taking action on their health and local environment, starting at their school.
Over the 2024/25 school year we aim support schools to complete the Eco-Schools programme, create new learning resources, and offer a free training programme for teachers, helping them to feel confident to deliver environmental education. This support will prioritise schools in lower-socio economic areas, enabling them to take part.
This short video shows the impact of the Eco-Schools programme at St Margaret’s Primary School in Manchester.
This short video captures the magic of the programme – and how much it benefits both generations.
The Bupa Foundation is a long-term partner of the National Literacy Trust. Together we run, ‘Reading for the Planet’.
This programme sees us pair up Bupa Care Home residents with local primary school children – to spread joy and inspiration through the power of reading eco-themed books.
Six schools took part in 2024 from some of the UK’s most deprived areas, including London, Yorkshire, Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool and Derby.
To mark the Bupa Foundation’s 10th birthday, we’re pleased to announce we’re expanding this programme to 10 more schools and Bupa care homes in 2025.
