Tickets.com Community Work at YMCA in Milton Keynes, UK

Tickets.com Ltd are supporting a local community project with the YMCA in Milton Keynes. This project aims to redecorate a room that is currently not used and make it an attractive meeting/training room. The idea behind the room is to provide facilities for hire to local companies to hold meetings and away days for staff and as a potential venue for demonstrations/product exhibitions. The revenue from room hire will go to support the work of the homeless project and the catering will be provided by the young people of MacIntyre, from their newly opened cafe with all proceeds going to support their work.

Over the last 2 weeks members of staff from Tickets.com have actively taken part in the redecoration of the room and the meeting/training room project is now almost complete and will be finished in time for the opening on 25th September.

The YMCA in Milton Keynes operates a 24 hour, 15 bed Homeless Project in Central Milton Keynes. Every guest of the Homeless Project receives 1-2-1 support from the trained housing support staff whilst housed with MKYMCA residents have easy access to support from external agencies such as Connexions, Revolving Door, Health Visitors, Next Steps, Mental Health Outreach, Milton Keynes College and many others.
Residents at the Project and in supported accommodation have free access twice a week to the Learning Hub where they can develop their literacy and numeracy skills, gaining qualifications and raising their confidence and self esteem at the same time.

MacIntyre is a national charity that provides learning, support and care for more than 700 children and adults with learning disabilities, at more than 120 MacIntyre services across the UK.
