Sponsor Our 1 Million Steps Challenge
We did it – and then we just kept walking!
So far, our residents, staff, friends and supporters have walked an amazing 2.67 MILLION STEPS!
Our original goal was 1 million steps and a virtual journey from Milton Keynes to Disneyland Paris. But we didn’t stop there! We continued through France to the Dune du Pilat, and our virtual journey has now taken us all the way to Portugal! Our residents are doing lots of walking, and we also have fantastic support from staff, friends and supporters who are adding their steps and walking alongside us. Every step counts, and every person is helping us travel a little further.
By supporting this challenge, you will help us raise funds for Camphill Milton Keynes Communities, support our growing community, and create much-needed accessible homes for residents.

Saturday Night Cleaver! A Murder Mystery Evening on 10th October
Join us for Saturday Night Cleaver, a Murder Mystery night at the Chrysalis Theatre MK.
Put on your best disco attire and prepare for an evening of mystery, laughter and 70s-inspired entertainment. Expect an interactive murder mystery (performed by Die Laughing, a Theatre of Comedy production) where you’ll follow the clues, question the suspects and work together to uncover the killer before the night is over.
Enjoy a delicious light meal, soak up the disco atmosphere and make the most of our licensed bar, where drinks will be available to purchase throughout the evening. Best of all, every ticket sold supports Camphill Milton Keynes, enabling us to continue providing opportunities, activities, and a vibrant community for adults with learning disabilities and autism.

Love Wetlands Day
We were thrilled to be a part of The Park’s Trust’s Love Wetlands Day on 21st August.
The fun-filled afternoon was all about discovery and celebrating nature. Together, we celebrated 10 years of the Floodplain Forest Nature Reserve.
Camphill MK had a stall with our Bakery, Tools, Gardens, Pottery, Arts & Crafts & Weavery workshop goodies. We also created a Wetlands Celebration Cake and exhibited our photography, ceramics, willow items & pom poms curtains as part of the Tree Gallery Exhibition.
The artworks looked absolutely amazing and, with their unique character and creativity, certainly caught people’s attention.
But the best part was seeing how proud our residents were to display their own creations.
A huge well done to everyone involved, and a very special thank you to our wonderful Craft Workshop team for all the hard work, creativity and support that went into making this possible.
