Your support helps us make a difference

When we launched in 2017, we raised £40,000 in the first six months thanks to the kind hearts of the people of Milton Keynes. Since then, you’ve donated to us through Facebook, work fundraisers with your colleagues and with business and corporate gifts.

Thanks to our generous volunteers and partners, we have hot meals for our guests, clean windows, recycled laptops and bikes that help them find work and get to interviews – and we’ve been able to place guests in jobs they can be proud of.

“It’s amazing what we can all do when we work together to help guests turn their lives around.”
