A huge thank you to Josh and Goodman! 🌟

Over the past year, Josh and Goodman have been on work placements at MK SNAP through their Milton Keynes College Supported Internship Programme, and they have been fantastic members of our team.

They have been incredibly helpful supporting sessions, assisting in the garden and enterprise sessions. Their enthusiasm, hard work, and willingness to get involved have made a real difference to everyone at MK SNAP.

As they move on to the next stage of their journey, we would like to thank them for all their efforts and wish them every success for the future.

We have loved having them with us and look forward to supporting more students through the Supported Internship Programme in the years ahead.

Good luck, Josh and Goodman – we're proud of everything you've achieved! 👏

💙 A day to be proud of! 💙

This week, MK SNAP attended the Network Rail Charity Day alongside MacIntyre and Age UK Milton Keynes .

Heidi and Margaret did an amazing job representing MK SNAP, selling our products, chatting with Network Rail colleagues, and raising awareness of our charity.

One of our favourite moments from the day was hearing Heidi talk about how far she has come since joining MK SNAP. She said that when she first started, she would never have had the confidence to help run a stall or speak to members of the public. Now, she feels confident talking to visitors, promoting our products, and representing MK SNAP.

Stories like Heidi's remind us why our work is so important. Seeing our learners grow in confidence, develop new skills, and achieve things they once thought were out of reach is what MK SNAP is all about.

We are so proud of both Heidi and Margaret for being fantastic ambassadors for MK SNAP. 💙

A huge thank you to Network Rail for inviting us, and to everyone who stopped by to say hello and support our social enterprise.

💙

We'll be at the Walton Summer Fayre with our MK SNAP plant stall! 🌱🌻

Come and see the fantastic plants our learners have grown in the MK SNAP garden, including potted flowers, sunflowers, salad and more.

Pop by, say hello, and support our learners—we'd love to see you there!
