What an incredible summer it has been for MK Melting Pot. From our Summer Project and Summer Fun Day to the amazing families, children, young people, volunteers, staff and partners who made it all possible — we have truly experienced something extraordinary.
And now, we are deeply honoured to have received the Charity Award at the Milton Keynes Afro Diaspora Awards!
This award is not just for MK Melting Pot, it belongs to all of you.
We are grateful to every person and organisation who has walked alongside us: our incredible young ambassadors and dynamic team, volunteers, families, children, parish councils, Milton Keynes Council, community organisations, businesses and every partner who contributed their time, skills, resources and heart.
From cycling and tennis to crafts, candle making, cooking and the many activities across our sensory room, craft room, garden and community spaces — every contribution helped create something truly special.
Our summer project stretched us in every direction, but it also showed us what we are capable of. Most importantly, it reminded us what MK Melting Pot is all about: bringing families together, listening to children and communities, building connections and creating a better, stronger Milton Keynes.
We are also incredibly grateful to the Milton Keynes Community Foundation for recognising our work at their 40th anniversary supporting families experiencing poverty and disadvantaged children and families across Milton Keynes.
We feel truly blessed and honoured to be a vessel for doing extraordinary things in our community.
To every family who joined us, every child who shared an idea, every volunteer who gave their time, every staff member who went above and beyond, and every organisation that partnered with us, thank you.
You are all part of the MK Melting Pot family and our journey.
This award belongs to you.
Thank you. God bless you all.
