Winter Night Shelter MK write:
We have some exciting news to share with you - our charity name will be changing!
Our charity was started to help those experiencing homelessness in Milton Keynes have somewhere warm and safe to sleep during the coldest months of the year - the night shelter that you all know and have been incredible supporters of.
However, since our launch, our work and role locally has grown, with our year-round welfare service that we provide for individuals and families – this service includes mental health or medical referrals and counselling, access to food, housing advice and support into safer accommodation, help with benefits, and access to our shower and washing facilities.
As we are no longer ‘just’ a night shelter, we felt it was important that we reflect this with a new name, and so are thrilled to share with you that our charity will now be called UnityMK.
UnityMK reflects the work we do – we bring people together and offer them hope for a brighter future. The word ‘unity’ is about everything working as one, and with the range of services we offer, which will continue to include our vital winter night shelter, we are often helping our guests with various areas of their lives and support them as they get things back on track.
Our hope is that with our new name and new branding it will also encourage those that are struggling, but not homeless, to know they can also seek help from us before it reaches crisis point.
Keep your eyes peeled for further details and a new logo and website soon!
