ABOUT

UKSN is Built for Veterans and Ex-Forces

Your skills, mindset, and experience matter. UKSN gives veterans a place to reconnect, stay sharp, and continue serving a purpose — in the outdoors and the wider community.

Why UKSN is Perfect for Veterans and Ex-Forces

Leaving the forces doesn’t mean leaving behind the mindset of preparedness, discipline, and camaraderie. UKSN offers a civilian-friendly, purpose-driven space for veterans and ex-forces personnel to connect, stay mission-ready, and support others through skills, service, and solidarity.

Community Led

The UKSN is community led organisation, primarily run by volunteers.
Any profits generated from membership are reinvested, further enhancing the UKSN community, its goals and projects.

Camping

Welcoming Environment

The UKSN has a fully formed constitution and code of conduct. We also have both anti bullying and child protection policies in place that we expect all members to adhere to at all times. These core documents form the backbone of UKSN, ensuring that our community remains a safe environment for all members.

DBS Checked

The UKSN TRIBE Team hold Advance DBS certificates for your complete piece of mind. We also run checks on any volunteer that may 'work' with children at officially organised events or camps.

Radio Telescope Antenna

Radio Licence

UKSN hold a radio licence from OFCOM that allows members to communicate, without requiring a personal licence.

Lakeside Camping

The UKSN is one of a small number of organisations to hold a Camping and Caravan Exemption Certificate in England, Scotland and Wales. This enables us to operate campsites for sole use by our members without needing planning permission or to apply for change of use for the land.
