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?

Armed Forces Pension Awareness Week 2026: 14th-18th Sept



Armed Forces Pension Awareness Week returns from 14–18 Sep, with a range of resources, presentations and opportunities designed to help serving personnel and veterans better understand their Armed Forces pension.

Armed Forces pensions can be complex, and understanding your pension and the benefits available to you is important at every stage of your career and beyond. Throughout Pension Awareness Week, we will be sharing practical information to help make pensions easier to understand and give you the knowledge you need to make informed decisions.

New pension resources

Throughout the week, the team will be releasing a series of factsheets covering some of the topics that can be difficult to navigate. These will provide clear and accessible information on subjects including:Taxation and your Armed Forces pension
Understanding your pension benefits
Pension forms and what they are used for
Tools and resources available to help you understand your pension
Other key aspects of the Armed Forces Pension Schemes
