We simply wouldn’t be able to do what we do as a homeless charity without the kindness of people and businesses of Milton Keynes. The sky’s the limit when it comes to raising money to help our guests.
You may want to raise funds by putting yourself in the shoes of people experiencing homelessness, or simply let your hair down and have some fun with family, friends, colleagues or under your own steam. Here are some ideas to get you on your way.
Looking to raise money for our charity doing what you love? If you’re a keen baker or cook, or simply enjoy drinking coffee with friends, you just need to advertise your event and away you go.
Whether you already run an established quiz night or you’d like to put our charity forward to your local pub in Milton Keynes, this is a great way to have fun and raise funds.
Doing something sponsored or putting on your own event are both great ways to raise money for The Shelter MK and help the work we do with our guests to turn their lives around.
Whether you’d like to give us the proceeds of a car boot or garage sale you’ve organised or a gift from your own personal car boot or garage sales, we’re so grateful for your support.
It’s always a lovely surprise when people are kind enough to set up a birthday Fundraiser for The Shelter MK on Facebook. Simply click on the ‘Charity’ box and choose ‘The Shelter MK’, then follow the steps to set up your fundraiser.

We believe everyone deserves a place to call home, even when life takes an unexpected turn.
We go out of our way to be that safe space for people experiencing homelessness in Milton Keynes, and their beloved dogs – listening and giving practical and emotional support, without judgement.
Our guests come from all walks of life. Taxi drivers, engineers, chefs or retired professionals. They are ordinary people who could be living next door to you if they hadn’t fallen on hard times.
With passion in our hearts, we give every guest the help they need to look to the future and get back on their feet. Then we stay right by their side until they’re ready to move on – and beyond.
We need your help so we can give our guests the support they need to get back on their feet and take steps towards turning their lives around.
If you’re currently experiencing homelessness and need help, or you’d like to refer another person to The Shelter MK, reach out to us here.
We welcome volunteers with a wide range of backgrounds, especially if you’re interested in cooking hot meals for our guests.
