It’s National Great Outdoors Month in June, aimed at encouraging people to get out into beautiful spaces and enjoy the world around them.
This could simply be exercising outside with a walk or run or taking part in local events.
How lucky are you? If you work at Farnborough Business Park there are beautifully landscaped areas under the Hangar to enjoy and a network of cycle paths and walks across the business park. One of the perks of the park is that you can hire one of our Ryde bike for free up to 72 hours! Follow the instructions here and you could be exploring in no time!
Alternatively, there are a whole host of local events which will give you opportunity to get out and about and find some new beautiful spaces to enjoy.

At Farnborough Business Park, we believe in the power of community, social value and giving back and so do our occuppiers! Together we raised an impressive £330 for our park charity, Phyllis Tuckwell from a recent Park Bake.
Biophilic design is an architectural concept that integrates natural elements, patterns, and principles into the built environment, fostering a harmonious connection between humans and nature. As people spend much of their time indoors these days, incorporating biophilic design principles into office spaces has become increasingly important for employee well-being and productivity.
Mental health matters, and on #WorldMentalHealthDay, October 10th, we’re teaming up with local charity Oakleaf Enterprise for an educational and wellbeing workshop to support you in your work.
