MKL Homeless collection with AIB

21st December MK Lightning vs Swindon Wildcats

The AIB Community Foundation, in collaboration with MK Lightning and the MKL Supporters Club, is proud to announce a special charity event aimed at supporting the local homeless community this winter. This initiative aligns with our commitment to giving back to the community and helping those in need and is the second time we’ve run it – as it was a huge success last year.

Christmas Charity Collection for the Homeless

In the spirit of the festive season, we are organising a charity collection for donations to the homeless. The collected items will be given to the UnityMK (formally The Winter Night Shelter), located just a stone’s throw away from our rink in Milton Keynes in the old bus shelter, directly aiding people in the local community who are most in need.

We invite all supporters to bring their donations to the upcoming match against the Swindon on the 21st December. A dedicated collection point will be set up outside the rink, where donations can be directly placed into the All in Black van. This ensures a seamless process, allowing us to quickly deliver these much-needed items.
