Dorset: Bovington & Blandford coworking hubs - virtual content planning session Thur 6th Nov
.png)
Are you a military spouse/partner that creates content?
As well as our physical BLANDFORD MCN HUB (why not reach out and book a trial?) where you can book a desk to help you get into the zone without the distractions from home, we also run a VIRTUAL CONTENT PLANNING session to connect us. First Thursday of the month, totally free. In fact, we are holding a session next Thursday 06.11.2025 from 10:30am-12pm
Content may be something that’s all too easy to slip off your to do list, time and time again, but we hope these sessions provide the accountability you may feel you need to make sure you’re actually creating it once in a while.
Content can range from social media content, to emails, to blog posts, magazine articles or just about anything else!
The bonus? Throughout the session you’re able to ask for feedback and advice in the Zoom chat, so no more analysis paralysis or being stuck for ideas as you can ask in there.
We’d love to see you there

Speak up, save lives: Men’s Health Campaign 2025 (Movember)
Why It Matters: Men are often less likely to talk about their health or seek help. Every conversation can make a difference.
Early detection saves lives. That’s why it’s vital to take advantage of tools like the NHS Health Check - a free check-up for adults aged 40 to 74 to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, or dementia. It’s a simple step that can make a big difference.
