︎ Call for Creative Courtyard Volunteers


Arts for Health MK are looking to expand their pool of volunteers to help look after some of the green spaces at Milton Keynes University Hospital.

Volunteering sessions are great way to meet other like-minded people, who enjoy the wellness benefits of the great outdoors. We just know you will go away with a sense of accomplishment that you have helped keep the Creative Courtyards looking their best for patients, staff and visitors. Read the full details of this opportunity on our blog article here or download and share the flyer below.
