What we do goes beyond purely achieving our mission.
As well as building positive relationships with our local communities, being a good neighbour and a responsible business means supporting and delivering programmes of mutual benefit to protect the nation.
Through our educational engagement, we can use our skills to support the future success of the local area – in the interests of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and our future talent pipeline.
We have an ongoing dialogue with our neighbours through our site stakeholder group, the Local Liaison Committee.
Our widely circulated community magazine Connect goes to 38,000 homes and businesses in the vicinity, providing the latest news and information to local residents.
Community
This autumn we are engaging with our local communities to talk about what we do, our history, our significant role in national defence, and our plans to update our infrastructure.
Local Liaison Committee
Our Local Liaison Committee (LLC) brings together elected representatives in Berkshire and Hampshire and represents around half a million local residents.
STEM education
We have a responsibility to engage communities to instil a genuine passion for STEM subjects among future generations. Additionally, as
a major UK employer of homegrown talent, we must play an active role in nurturing the UK’s talent pipeline through training and development programmes.
Volunteering
Last year, we introduced our new volunteering scheme, ‘Time to Give’
which gives our people the opportunity to use three full days for the benefit of charitable organisations
Charity
We have partnered with Parents And Children Together (PACT) to support local families by fundraising and volunteering time to help with activities.
