Happy Christmas 2022!
During December 2022, forMK team members were active in putting together gift packs to go to both the young and elderly in Milton Keynes.
Children’s Games
After being told that many families had never owned or played a family game, 100 board games were bought wrapped & delivered to Moorlands Children’s Centre for distribution to families across our City.
Gifts for Sheltered Accommodation Residents
180 packs were prepared & delivered to residents at the Sheltered accommodation centres in Oldbrook, Eaglestone, Springfield, Two Mile Ash & Great Holm.
Huge thanks to Abbie, Hera, Lanre & Samuel for all their help in making this happen 🤩👏🏽😇
Angel Tree
We supported the Prison Fellowship by donating £2,268 and in addition purchasing 139 Christmas Gifts to be sent to children who have a parent in prison. Each gift is sent as if from the prisoner themselves and help families connect and build relationships as well as providing children with much-needed joy.
Santa’s Sleigh
We collected 1,900 food items during our annual fill Santa’s Sleigh drive-thru to support MK Food Bank’s Reverse Advent campaign. These were passed to MK Food Bank to help with the growing need in Milton Keynes.
Grassroots Fund
Over the Christmas period alone £2,000 was granted to 4 local community organisations
- Little Miracles MK – for their Christmas extravaganza
- Sweet Sound Community Gospel Choir – weekly rehearsal space cost
- Spectrum Arts – weekly workshop staffing costs
- Christmas in A Box – who provided 195 meals & treat boxes to families across MK
