Community Action: MK is the Volunteering Hub for Milton Keynes.
As the leading infrastructure organisation in Milton Keynes and the Hub for Volunteering, the work of Community Action: MK is key in promoting and strengthening the voluntary and community sector in our city.
How do we support volunteering in Milton Keynes?
We connect the local Milton Keynes community to volunteering roles
Provide opportunities for training and networking specific to volunteering
Offer advice and guidance on volunteering best practice
Do.It Volunteering Platform
We work with Do.It to offer groups and organisations a space to advertise their volunteering roles through their brokerage platform and for individuals to search for local groups and current opportunities to volunteer in and around Milton Keynes.
We recently held a ‘How-to’ webinar with Do.It focussed on setting up as an organisation on their new and improved site. You can view the recording here (Passcode: vE040y@%) and the slides are available to view here.
Volunteering Strategy 2024 – 2029 (draft)
It is a privilege for us to work with colleagues across Milton Keynes’ voluntary and community, and public sectors, to coproduce a Volunteering Strategy 2024-2029.
This strategy will be a tool to improve health and wellbeing through the power of volunteering. This strategy will inform our operational and strategic plans; including our work with partners to champion volunteering as a force for change and tool to reduce health inequalities. You can read our strategy below or you can download a PDF version here.
This draft strategy is currently out for consultation, which ends 24th May 2024. You can provide feedback here.
