Covid-19 - Community Actio: MK 's role We were working with partners, groups, networks, and the local community to ensure residents across Milton Keynes, including those most vulnerable, were supported throughout the challenging pandemic time (see our Statement of Role from March 2020 here). We're continuing to provide strategic support to voluntary groups and facilitate networks to help the local VCSE Sector to work in a joined-up way while responding to arising challenges as a result of Covid-19 pandemic, the Refugee Crisis and the Cost of Living emergency.
