    In February 2022, MKFM launched the competition with Mayor of Milton Keynes Mohammed Khan calling on local residents to nominate those people who have made an impact in our community for the Milton Keynes Local Heroes Awards 2022.

    This year’s winners include those who have made a contribution to recovery projects as a result of Covid-19, but were not exclusively aimed at that. The judging focused on individuals or community groups who have gone the extra mile and selflessly stepped up to help others and to make a real difference. And now, the mayor of Milton Keynes, Mohammed Khan has announced the winners who have sought to make MK a better place this year.
