- Milton Keynes
- Funded on Tuesday, 21st November 2023
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
On the afternoon of Sunday 23rd July Milton Keynes Archery Club was the subject of arson at our range home in a local primary school in Great Linford, Milton Keynes. We are seeking to raise money to replace our equipment and shed that was lost in the attack.
We are a not for profit group run entirely by volunteers and to date funded entirely by the family savings of our founders.
We are fundraising to replace all of our club equipment that was lost in a fire so we can continue to offer our services both through beginners courses and for our members to participate in the sport.

1 year agoWell, it's been quite the rollercoaster these last few months. We've been bowled over by the support we've received. Thanks to all your donations, we managed to get a 2nd hand shipping container delivered, so we have secure storage now. On top of the kind donations on this page, we would like to thank both South Bucks Archers and 678 Squadron Army Air Corps for donating equipment that has helped us get back on our feet. We are not quite back to where we were before the fire, but we're shooting & that's what we're all about. Thanks again!

1 year ago... couldn't fit this all in one update it seems... We are well on the way towards a new storage facility and other local clubs have generously offered to lend us some kit (again thank you!) whilst we get funds together to buy our own. We will rebuild. x

1 year agoThank you all so much! The outpouring of support and love in the wake of this horrible act has lifted us up and given us hope when we needed it most. Christine and I started this club with our own money with the aim of sharing archery with the city we love. To have the equipment we need taken away like this has been devastating, both on a club and personal level. We are unsure how we will ever be able to show the gratitude we feel to you all for the many donations made and contact made by so many to give messages of support.
