The 9 Tap to Donate machines, positioned at key locations across Milton Keynes City Centre, provide a quick and secure method to contribute to a dedicated fund tackling homelessness in the community.
Each tap of your contactless card donates £3 to the fund, which is managed by the Milton Keynes Community Foundation. This ensures that every penny goes directly to organisations and projects working to make a difference for people facing homelessness in our community. Charities and not-for-profit organisations can apply for funding to deliver vital services, from emergency shelter to long-term support initiatives.
So far, £26,000 has been raised through these strategically placed Tap to Donate machines, making a significant impact on the lives of those in need.
But it doesn’t stop there! Donations can now also be made online through the Milton Keynes Community Foundation website, making it even easier to support those in need.
“The Tap to Donate initiative has been a fantastic way to help those most in need in Milton Keynes,” said a representative from MyMiltonKeynes. “With the addition of online donations, we’re excited to provide even more ways for people to make a meaningful impact on their community.”
Look out for the Tap to Donate machines around the city and visit the MK Community Foundation website to learn more or donate online. Together, we can help support projects that provide safety, dignity, and hope to those experiencing homelessness.
