In December five leaders from four Milton Keynes member institutions attended the first of three Action Learning Sets following Two-Day Training.
Each of the five participants took turns to present an issue blocking their leadership and took open questions from the group.They then decided on one or two actions to take before next meeting.
The overall impact on trainees, according to their before/after ratings, was:
- 78% increase in ‘My awareness of tools for building relational power’
- 100% increase in ‘My confidence in my community leadership’
- 67% increase in ‘My motivation to make positive change in my community’.
“I found the session very helpful and interesting,” said participant Sofia Hassan. “It has helped me to have the confidence to talk about concerns that I have in the community and be able to approach some of the power holders. I’m looking forward to the next session too.”

Living Wage supporters staged a ‘stitch-in’ outside Marks & Spencers in Central Milton Keynes. Ten women had a sit-down tea party and sewed hand-made messages onto M&S handkerchiefs, to be delivered to the board, celebrity endorsers, and major shareholders of the British retail giant at its annual general meeting at Wembley Stadium on 7th July. The action was co-ordinated by Citizens:mk with the Craftivist Collective and ShareAction’s AGM Army to press UK retailers to pay a Living Wage.
