Milton Keynes is the UK's fastest growing urban area. It maintains an image of a prosperous and modern new city and it's political and business leaders have a vision of the future in which Milton Keynes competes economically and culturally with the world's elite.

But it should not be forgotten though that despite growth and a broad prosperity there are many people suffering as a result of disadvantage, disability, exclusion, illness, insecurity or poverty.

The aim to transform Milton Keynes into an economic and cultural model is a worthy one, but it will only be achieved in the form of an integrated community where every group and each individual feels secure and valued. The role of local charities and voluntary organisations has never been more important.
