Community

We know we play a huge role in our communities, be it our neighbours, our people or a national community

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.
