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.

Quiet Support, Real Community
We’re here when you need connection, structure, or just space to be useful again — no pressure, no ranks, just respect.
WHAT MAKES UKSN SPECIAL?


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.


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.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY:
“I missed the sense of purpose after leaving the Army. UKSN gave me a way to get it back — with like-minded people.”
