This Volunteers Week 2024, we are celebrating all things volunteers and voluntary groups across Milton Keynes!
This Volunteers Week (3rd – 9th June), you can join us in thanking the hard-working voluntary groups of Milton Keynes by coming to our Thank you Gathering on 5th June at MK Rose in Campbell Park, 10.30am – 12pm. There will be the opportunity to hear from those Milton Keynes groups that have received the Queen/ Kings Award for Voluntary Service, as well as dedicated time to say thank you to your volunteers and tie messages around the pillar!
