It’s Volunteers’ Week – 2nd – 8th June

Jun 1, 2025

This week is Volunteer’s Week, June 2nd—8th, and we’re celebrating our amazing volunteers! We’re deeply grateful for the significant contributions of ALL the volunteers who have supported our charity since the 1980s. Their dedication has made a profound difference, and we’re excited to inspire more wonderful folks to join us in making an impact.

We are also very proud of our residents, who too are volunteers in the local Milton Keynes community. Here are ust a few. Resident Caroline volunteers at Off The Record MK. The not-for-profit indie record store is a gem! It is run by music lovers to raise funds for Willen Hospice Milton Keynes. Our resident Tamsin makes beautiful tote bags for the Baby Basics MK charity. The bags will be filled with clothes or toiletries and given to local families that need a little help. So far, Tamsin has made a whopping 28 bags for Baby Basics MK on the sewing machine. We’re so proud of her for giving back to the local community. Resident Stephen, who volunteers at Branch-out mk CIC in Wolverton. They aim to encourage positive emotional, mental, and physical health & wellbeing through gardening.

Volunteering is a wonderful way to give back to society and help others, and it makes you feel great. You can learn new skills or share your own, meet great new people, and make a huge difference. Our volunteers are essential to our community and help us support more adults with learning disabilities and autism. They help in many different ways, too!

Events & Adhoc Volunteering

Workshop/Community Volunteering

You could drive our residents from A to B or assist teaching in our Tech Lab, Newsletter, Gardens, Café, Drama, Chrysalis Theatre, and Arts and Crafts Workshops. Individuals often bring their unique skills but also seek to gain experience in certain areas, increase their friendship groups, and help those in their community.

Corporate Volunteering/CSR Days

We welcome teams of volunteers to support us in many ways. Often, staff teams join our gardening team to tend to our Roundhouse Gardens, planting or harvesting the next crop to feed our residents or supply the café.
