Military Co-working Network


The Military Coworking Network (MCN) is a community of military partners working together to create a network of coworking office spaces on military bases.  

The coworking hubs are supported by an online community for members everywhere to share advice, information, inspiration, and create a network of contacts. In 2020 a successful Covenant Trust bid meant further Hubs could be planned, with the MCN team working closely, in a  tri-service project, with the Royal Air Forces Association and the RAF Families Federation.  

Due to Covid-19 restrictions hubs had to be closed and opening of new hubs had to be delayed. With restrictions lifting and some normality returning, most of the hubs are now open and operational with more hubs due to open in the near future


See below list for current hub locations & status
