MK Children’s Fund would love to be able to operate all over Milton Keynes, but unfortunately funds never stretch far enough. However, we are fortunate enough to have contacts with lots of other organisations and people whose aim is to provide preventive and supportive services to children and young people. Below are details of some of the organisations we have worked with or know of who may be able to offer assistance in areas where we can’t.
