Covid-19: Community Action MK's Role

Community Action: MK was working with partners and networks, and the local community to ensure residents across Milton Keynes were supported throughout the challenging pandemic time (see our Statement of Role from March 2020 here).

We are continuing to provide strategic help to groups, facilitate networks and promote a volunteer response to arising challenges as a result of Covid-19. 

View our Covid-19 page for the latest news, updates and guidance here.
