Donate to MKPA

Are you interested in supporting our work to help children enjoy free and open play by making a donation

Every donation we receive is very much appreciated and goes directly to funding our work with children in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas.

You can donate easily and securely through our localgiving.org page.

  • £25 will fund resources for a play session
  • £50 will purchase an item of play equipment
  • £100 will fund a play worker for a day.

Become a trustee

Could you or someone you know spare a few hours a month to help direct the future of MKPA? We would like to welcome some new trustees to our small board.

The main duties would be to attend our monthly board meetings and AGM where we discuss finances, staffing and our plans for the future.

Perhaps the most important qualification for this voluntary role is that you support our core values. Beyond that, we are looking for people who can contribute to the planning and oversight of the organisation.

Relevant experience might include: working with children; working in the voluntary sector; or having commercial, managerial or retail experience.

Being a trustee is not only a great way to contribute but can also be very rewarding – helping individuals to develop their skills, meet new people and build their CV.

If you think this may be of interest, and would like an informal chat with a current trustee, or to find out more about the role, please contact us on admin@mkpa.co.uk or call us on 01908 263033.
