Milton Keynes Community Foundation are pleased to announce the launch of this year’s Vital Signs MK; an annual publication designed to round up and highlight the most current research on the communities of Milton Keynes and present it in an easy-to-read format.
This year’s publication focuses on 11 key areas of interest within Milton Keynes, mapping trends, highlighting our strengths and identifying challenges we face. The full Vital Signs report that covers all themes as this one does, is published every three years. During the years in between, a shorter Vital Signs Update report is published, looking at fewer themes.
This year, the report looks at: Strong Communities, Work & the Economy, Education, Diversity, Disadvantage & Poverty, Housing, Crime & Safety, Health & Wellbeing, Transport, The Local Environment and Arts & Heritage.
A few of the highlights from this year’s reports include:
You can see the rest of the statistics that we have sourced in our Long and Short reports, available on our website.
Ian Revell our CEO said: “Milton Keynes Community Foundation will continue our series of ‘Vital Thinking’ events (face to face and online) bringing together people with ‘lived experience’ and specialists, in collaboration with our local partners and community groups to open up the conversation and help to create a better understanding of what we can do, as a community, to address the causes and impacts of these issues”.
We aim to explore solutions and identify potential policy, practice and behaviour changes which will make a real positive difference to the lives of people in Milton Keynes.
