YMCA MK takes young adults who have experienced homelessness and unemployment and works with them until they have a healthy sense of wellbeing, are in suitable accommodation and employment, and have developed the skills to sustain both.

Since 2017, Milton Keynes has been experiencing a crisis in youth homelessness with numbers reaching a record high. One in 117 people find themselves homeless in our city with over a third of these being under 25.

YMCA MK have been lucky enough to be named the charity partner for the Milton Keynes Half Marathon and Festival of Running which takes place on Sunday 17th March 2024 starting at the iconic Xscape building.

The festival allows the opportunity to choose from four different distances so there is something to suit everyone. Whether you'd like to jog along to a 5k or would prefer to run the 20 miler to help train for your marathon goals, come and get involved to help support a great cause!
