Home » How We Give Back

Here at Cura we speak with individuals from all walks of life who face daily challenges from their medical conditions.

Whilst we remain professional at all times it is impossible for us to not be touched by the life stories that we hear, and feel a responsibility to help people within our community.

This is why, we individually and as a team, like to give back.

Purple Tuesday

We are supporters of Purple Tuesday, a national campaign to improve disability access within the retail sector. But, why stop there?

We think that all companies should improve access to their products and services, and we are doing our part too. Within the insurance industry, we are known for our passion to fight for fairer access to insurance policies. We are proud to support Purple!
