Whatever you're facing, you don't have to face it alone

Practical help in Milton Keynes

We can't always help with everything ourselves, but we can help you find the right people. Here are local organisations who can help, by what you need.

Food and essentials

• Top-Up Shop: every Friday from 10:00 to 11:30 in the car park at Venture Oldbrook, with 10 store cupboard items for £2.
• MK Food Bank: emergency food parcels. We can help you find a voucher.

Money and debt

• MK Money Lifeline: free, local debt advice.
• Citizens Advice Milton Keynes: free advice on debts, benefits, housing and more.
• More ideas on our money support page.

Housing and homelessness

• Unity MK: advice and support if you are homeless or at risk of losing your home.
• Milton Keynes Homelessness Partnership: organisations across the city working together to end homelessness.

Feeling anxious or low

• Mind BLMK: local mental health support and services.
• If you need help now, call 111 and choose the mental health option, or call Samaritans free on 116 123.
• More support on our feeling anxious or low page.

In a crisis

• If someone is in danger, call 999.
• Our crisis fund is there for when no other help is available. It works through referrals from our partner organisations, so we can't take requests directly. If you're not sure where to turn, send us a message and we will point you to the right people.

Family and relationships

• Ideas and support on our parenting and marriage and relationships pages.

Volunteering

• Volunteer with Venture: help with our events and community projects.
• Community Action: MK's Volunteering Hub: volunteering roles across the city.
