Dorset: Bovington & Blandford coworking hub latest update
❓ What difference would it make to swap the sofa for a different space? ❓
☀️ More than just a desk. It’s space for you. ☀️
We hope our coworking hubs offer you more than a place to sit, we hope they give you room to focus, a chance to meet new people and a change of scenery that makes working, studying or running a business feel perhaps a little lighter.
If you’d like to see if it works for you, your first visit to the Bovington or Blandford Hub is free:
👉 https://www.militarycoworking.uk/bovington-hub or Blandford | Military Coworking Network
If you can’t get there in person, you can still connect through our online coworking sessions and events:

✨ It might just be the change of scene you’ve been looking for.

7th Sept 2025: National emergency alert test and guidance for victims of domestic abuse
There will be a test of the national emergency alert system on 07 September. This will come through to all mobile phones across the country. SafeLives have issued the following guidance for those who are victims of domestic abuse:
📢 A UK-wide emergency alert test will take place on Sunday 7th September 2025 at 3pm. Mobile phones will emit a loud siren and vibrate — even if they’re on silent.
Whilst these alerts aim to protect the public in emergencies, they could put victim-survivors of domestic abuse at risk — especially those who rely on hidden phones as part of their safety plan.
Please know, you CAN opt out of this test.
If you need to disable alerts for safety reasons, follow the steps here: Opting out of emergency alerts - GOV.UK

Grantham: HWLincs Hidden Voices Project - Health & wellbeing support survey for serving Military personnel
Health and wellbeing support survey for serving military personnel
HWLincs has launched a survey to understand the health and wellbeing support experiences of serving military personnel.Supported by an Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust grant, the project will identify barriers to support and identify any gaps in existing support options.
The project report will influence service providers to improve their services for the benefit of all serving military forces and their families addressing the issues that have been identified. Services covered by the survey include Defence Medical Services and NHS/social care services.
It’s vital that serving personnel are supported in the best way possible.
Https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/HWLincsHiddenVoices5/
We are particularly interested in the experiences of those staff who identify as belonging to minority groups, such as carers, people from the LGBTQ+ communities, people with disabilities and people from the ethnic minorities.
Lincolnshire is our focus area, but all responses are welcome irrespective of location. Those who would like to participate can complete the survey online or contact us for a physical copy / arrange to do the survey over the phone.
To ensure confidentiality, all responses will be anonymised and people will not be identifiable.
In addition to the survey, we would also like to find people willing to share their stories, either as a case study or as part of a focus group. This too can be anonymous on publication.
Social media and community networks will be a great way for this project to be shared. If you are a member of any of these, please share via the links below.
If we identify specific needs, we will signpost survey participants to available services for support.
HWLincs is a charity specialising in engagement, research and evaluation to provide invaluable insights and recommendations that drive positive change and impact in health, social care and wellbeing. We deliver the Lincolnshire Healthwatch contract which enables us to collect feedback on health and social care issues to influence the provision of those services, amplifying people’s voice in areas of concern.
