In the charity's own words
ReturnMK is a registered charity which provides funded and subsidised alternative activities that engage young people in the Milton Keynes and surrounding areas otherwise excluded from mainstream schools/activities to enable them to have a sense of social inclusion. Since 2024 we have started a new initiative whereby we donate food and household items to the general public and other charities.
