For National Inclusion Week we want to highlight the work that our Employee Networks do across the business year-round, as well as hear from them what the week means to their networks.

As we take time to reflect on International Day of Charity, we also pause to be thankful for our corporate charity partnerships and the positive impact they have on our communities. Here, CEO of the Jon Egging Trust (JET), Dr Emma Egging, shares how joint-working has made a difference to the young people across Hampshire and Dorset supported by JET and NATS.

As the schools prepare to return for the next term, we also get ready to support the next academic year of the Jon Egging Trust’s Blue Skies programme. And what better time to reflect on the graduation ceremonies JET hosted over the summer months for the students who took part.

Friday 26 July and all eyes were on Paris for the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics. Our eyes were on the skies, though, where a huge 80-mile exclusion zone around the French capital kicked in at 4.30pm and stayed in place till 10pm. For neighbouring countries like the UK this meant a massive amount of planning for the air traffic likely to reroute through our airspace.

Once a series of clay pits for the neighbouring Bursledon Brickworks, the now beautiful oasis of the Swanwick Lakes Nature Reserve is abuzz with summer activity and successes from nature. The reserve, which sits alongside the NATS operational centre in Hampshire, is a partnership project between the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust and NATS. Last year we celebrated three decades of working together at the site. And now as we are enjoying summer, we celebrate so many other achievements.
