Bupa 2023 – Case Study
In 2023 we were supported by the Bupa Foundation who became an event partner to We Invented the Weekend under our We Get Green banner. Bupa Foundation worked alongside Salford Loaves and Fishes to promote a Garden to Table initiative.
During the weekend over 600 sunflower seeds were planted and seed pots decorated. Children really got involved in planting and some even left their precious seeds which turned into glorious sunflowers in MediaCity some months later.
Bupa also aligned their activities to their Healthy Cities programme.
