I'm with lloyds tsb bank. You get insurance free with certain accounts.

Also tesco's and places like asda do cheap travel insurance. Call your local and ask, they will give you a number.

Suggestions no good for one year stays.

TNT Magazine normally have a wide selection of 'Backpacker' insurances for 12 month periods.
