OUR CURRENT FUNDERS Milton Keynes Women & Work Group are reliant on funding to enable us to provide our services.
Milton Keynes Council have supported Women & Work since conception. They do this through a Grant which is used to contribute to our core costs and therefore supports all Projects. It also contributes to the post of an Information, Advice and Guidance adviser. We are currently contracted by the Council to deliver two LABGI projects. One which is a support service for the long-term unemployed and the other to support recent migrants and Black and Minority Ethnic Groups. Both aim to ultimately upport them into paid employment. Milton Keynes Council also support us in many other ways.
In partnership with Restore, MK Mind, and others we are delivering a Project funded by the Learning & Skills Council to provide advice, guidance, training, work placements and support to women wishing to return to paid work In partnership with A4e we are delivering the Recruiting Older Workers Project funded by the Learning & Skills Council to support over 50s into employment through advice, guidance, training and support services.
In partnership with A4e we are delivering the Inspire to Aspire Project funded by the Department for Work and Pensions to support women into employment through advice, guidance, training and support services.
We have received funding from the Milton Keynes Community Foundation to provide a Pilot Circuit rider project to voluntary and community sector organisations. This project aims to support the VCS organisations improve their capacity in terms of IT use, through signposting and advice. We have also received funding from them to cover the costs of moving offices within Acorn House and to establish training facilities for our clients and Voluntary and Community Organisations. These facilities include ICT training for which the computer equipment has been funded by the Milton Keynes Community Foundation. As a tenant of Acorn House, we, like other tenants of the voluntary sector, qualify for a reduced rent. We have been successful in grant applications to the MK Community Foundation. These have funded essential office equipment, in the form of new computers and new phone systems for our Acorn House and Wolverton sites and training courses to help reduce our waiting lists for IT courses.

Abbey Charitable Trust have provided funding for us to refurbish a room in Acorn House, to enable us to deliver services from it. Refurbishment includes, addition of a small interview room, power supply, lighting, phone system and internet connectivity. They have previously provided funding that enabled us to provide two much needed free training courses with free crèche provision for our clients; Interpersonal and Fresh start(Confidence building and Job-Search skills).
