06/01/2012
The event took place at the MK Don's Stadium at 7pm on the 14th of December 2011. The event was held in the director's lounge of the stadium MK. The final presentation celebrated the end of the course for the learners of Prince's Trust Team MK 46. The event, themed on the Houses of Parliament, looked to debate the impact of Team MK 46 within the community. Over a heated debated the team presented their valuable experiences and tremendous victories during their time on the course.
Overall the presentation included the team's biggest achievements whilst on programme, these included;
- Climbing a mountain in Wales,
- Raising £458.47 from a variety of fundraisers for their community project,
- Completing a two week community project at Simpson School,
- Each person completed a two week work placement gaining very good references,
- Completing a week ‘team challenge' where the team put on a range of activities for children at Oldbrook Preschool,
- Some learners even acquired jobs from their time on programme.
At the end of the presentation each learner received a gift pack which contained certificates acquired throughout the course, a ticket to an MK Don's home game and a folder for learners to take to future interviews. The night was a huge success with all learners demonstrating how far they have travelled throughout the twelve weeks both physically and mentally. In total there were in excess of 40 people either friends, family and support agencies present. The event was also attended by the Mayor of Milton Keynes who presented the learners with their gift packs. Also in attendance included a director of Milton Keynes College, a representative of Prince's Trust and also a representative of MK Don's SET.
From the staff of Milton Keynes College we would like to say a very big well done to team MK 46.
