Vital Signs is an international initiative supported by many UK Community Foundations. It aims to identify significant research that reflect the vitality of Milton Keynes measuring several areas critical to the quality of life in the city…
Local students have missed more than 200,000 days of teaching.
According to the new Vital Signs report launched this morning by MK Community Foundation. The statistic, from The Department for Work and Education, highlights the need to further support young people with education and training, after such a large number of pupils from state funded primary, secondary and special schools missed out on face-to-face teaching in the autumn term alone, after having to self-isolate or shield due to COVID-19.
Vital Signs is released each year by leading grant making charity, MK Community Foundation, with the aim to round up the most current research on the communities of Milton Keyes, measuring several areas critical to the quality of life in the city. This year, the report is focused around Health & Wellbeing, Poverty & Disadvantage, Work and Education.
In response to the most recent findings, and to commemorate their 35th anniversary, MK Community Foundation have launched a ‘Next Generation’ fund, which aims to help disadvantaged young people to access education, training and employment opportunities.
“Now more than ever we need to understand the Vital issues facing our community so we can focus our efforts to support those people, especially young people in need of support” Ian Revell, Milton Keynes Community Foundation CEO.
