Military Coworking Network

Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

The Military Coworking Network was founded by military partners for military partners, to help improve the life of serving families.  Our vision is to have coworking spaces on every military base in the UK and overseas, to provide a space that military partners can use to work, study, network and inspire.  We are trying to make military partners feel happy and supported within the community.  We want our community to be a place where friendships are easily made and loneliness and isolation are rare.  The MCN have been awarded a grant from the Armed Forces Covenant Trust Fund to conduct a pilot project about the benefits to military personnel and their families of having coworking spaces on military bases. 

About us

The mission of the MCN is simple - to provide military spouses and partners of serving personnel across any of the services, the means, the opportunity, and the support they need to achieve their full career potential and maintain independent, professional lives alongside military life.

We achieve this by working in partnership with other organisations whose mission it is to make family life in the military easier, and via our community of military spouses because this is a community that works for the community, gives back to the community, and supports the community.  Our members are the backbone of the MCN – our success is their success.

How do we know what they need?  Because these are our stories too – we are the military spouses. The MCN has been built by us, for us. 

How do we do this? We achieve this via our Online Community and our Coworking Hub Network.

Our Online Community enables our members to link up with people who share their values, understand the challenges they face, and can relate to the problems they experience. Through the many networking opportunities we offer, they can rebuild their support network and make meaningful friendships that can last a lifetime.  Here they have access to a wide range of resources, including career and business support as well as learning and development opportunities to drive and inspire personal and professional development.  And it’s FREE to join!

And finally, our Network of Coworking Hubs gives them a contemporary, stylish space where they can work, study, and connect with like-minded people, share advice, exchange experiences, and learn from their peers. To use one of our coworking hubs, you need to become a member of our Hub Network.  We offer three levels of membership – Gold, Silver and Bronze, depending on your hotdesking needs.  Membership starts at just £20/year, offering excellent value for money.
