We deliver what we say, when we say
Our work focuses on empowering local
charities and initiatives through grant giving,
ensuring they have the resources they
need to thrive. We also provide a昀昀ordable
workspace for local organisations, helping
them to operate sustainably and continue
their essential work.
As giving experts, we collaborate with the
local business community to help them give
with purpose, ensuring their contributions
make a meaningful, lasting impact.
Equality, diversity, and fairness are at
the core of everything we do, and we are
committed to addressing the most pressing
challenges facing Milton Keynes.
Each year, we produce a ‘Vital Signs Report’
that enables us to identify and spotlight
issues facing the communities of Milton
Keynes, ensuring we direct our giving to
where it’s needed most and can have the
greatest impact. From tackling issues like
homelessness and mental health to
championing arts, culture, and sustainability,
our work re昀氀ects the needs of the community
we serve. For almost 40 years, we have
proudly supported countless organisations,
creating opportunities for individuals and
groups to thrive, so our city thrives.
By working together with local philanthropists,
businesses, and community members, we
continue to drive positive change, ensuring
Milton Keynes remains a vibrant, fair, and
inclusive place for everyone.
Our Strategic Goal is to build a resilient, creative,
inclusive and philanthropic community.

A Message
From Our CEO
Ian Revell
“As we re昀氀ect on the past
year, I want to extend my

I thank you.

The past few years have been challenging
for our community, as we emerged from
the e昀昀ects of the pandemic and navigated
an ever-changing landscape. Yet, through
these challenges, one thing has remained
constant – the incredible strength and
resilience of our voluntary, community and
cultural sector. They are the backbone of our
city, working tirelessly to support those in
need, and add energy, culture, and vibrancy
to Milton Keynes. This Impact Report is a
celebration of them, of the work they do,
and of the lives they change every day.
But their work wouldn’t be possible
without you – our generous fundholders
and supporters. Your contributions enable
us to fund vital projects and initiatives,
ensuring that Milton Keynes continues to
be a place where people and communities
can thrive. This report is as much about
celebrating your generosity as it is about
the impact it creates.
While this is a moment of celebration, we
must also look ahead. There is still so much
to do, and we cannot do it alone. The needs
of our diverse communities continue
to grow, and we need your support now
more than ever. Whether through donations,
partnerships, or simply spreading the word
about our work, every action counts.
Together, we can continue to create lasting
change in our city. Thank you for being
part of our journey towards a fairer, more
equitable Milton Keynes.”
