Volunteers Week is next week and want to thank all the amazing volunteers that have been supporting our work and the work of other VCSE organisations in Milton Keynes – all year round and particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic: follow our blog and social media for updates.

New pillars to be engraved at the Milton Keynes Rose:
The three pillars that will be engraved this year are;
Volunteers’ Week (1 -7 June), the inscription on this pillar will read, ‘The best way to
find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others – Mahatma Gandhi’
World Refugee Day (20 June), with this engraving reading, ‘People from around the
world have helped build this city. Milton Keynes welcomes refugees’.
The third pillar to be engraved, is to commemorate the Covid-19 pandemic and
particularly those who have lost their lives in Milton Keynes.
