In 2021 we’ve been making some changes and hoping to improve our volunteering platform to suit the evolving needs that we have come across throughout the pandemic and adjust and adapt as we move into this New Year.
With this in mind we have transitioned to and created a Community Action: MK, Doit.Org site. We feel that this platform will better suit the needs of groups and volunteers as we move forwards. We’d like to encourage organisations to create their profile page and begin uploading volunteering opportunities so that volunteers can see the variety of opportunities available in MK. More details below including, videos guiding you through the platform and ways to access support.
We have created our own ‘Ecosystem’ on DoIt that will allow groups in Milton Keynes to interact and volunteers to see the various opportunities that are locally available to them. Joining our ecosystem will automatically connect you to the resources we have already shared and the various functions we have worked on with DoIt so you can get the most out of the site.
There are 2 different accounts that you can make, either one as an organisation so that you can promote your volunteering roles and access different features, or the the individual volunteer account so that you can browse and register interests in various roles. Please ensure you use the right link depending on what you want to use the site for.
Register now:

We know these are unprecedented times and very busy for everyone, but we are really excited and keen to support all organisations and potential volunteers to get set up on the platform. This will further connect our vibrant community and voluntary sector.
Remember to look out for the Community Action: MK logo, to double check that you are in the right place for joining our ecosystem. We look forward to meeting and supporting you soon!
