RESOURCES 56 THE MILITARY COWORKING NETWORK The Military Coworking Network (MCN) is a physical and online community for individuals, who have joined together to create a network of coworking office spaces on military bases in the UK and overseas. Run with the support of the MOD, the MCN is a community where serving personnel, their partners, and their adult children come together to work, study, learn, and network in a coworking hub. Having a dedicated space where members can go to work and study together helps to reduce social isolation, and it can help and support you to maintain flexible jobs that work around a military lifestyle. You can meet new people and make useful contacts for work, study, or to socialise with. We host a wide variety of events in each hub ranging from business support, career advice, training courses, market days, and social events. FIND YOUR NEAREST COWORKING HUB Visit our website, www.militarycoworking.uk , to reserve your space on a tour of your nearest hub and enjoy a free membership trial. Hub membership starts from just £20 per annum to access all the benefits. It isn’t all work and no play at the MCN; we host lots of social events too where you can meet fellow members and make new friends. The network of coworking spaces is supported by an online community for partners of serving personnel everywhere to share advice, information, and inspiration, as well as creating a network of contacts you never have to say goodbye to.
