Sandhurst: Military Co-Working Book Your Desk

 

Working from home is amazing, until you realise you've not actually left the house in 3 days and might have forgotten how to speak to real life people rather than those inside your computer...

Our coworking hubs are fantastic for helping to break this cycle, get you out of the house, making connections with other local military partners and spouses and giving you a good separation between work and home. 

And for just £30 per YEAR, the value is fantastic!

So if you're already a member, book that desk for this week and come join us in your Sandhurst Military Coworking Hub, and if you're not a member yet - why not? 

Click HERE for more information.
