We're having our next MK online discussion group from 7pm on Wednesday 15 July, and the format will be different to normal. Our Diversity Officer Cllr Paul Trendall is taking a lead arranging this meeting which will be held over Zoom.

To put something right, we have to understand the problem. To do that, we must listen to those who know. Three people, representing different parts of the BAME community in Milton Keynes, have come forward and offered to testify about their personal experiences of growing up and living here as part of a minority group; the good and the bad.

There is much to do, and much to learn, and these people can help us. Please find the time to join this important conversation.

The Zoom meeting will be open from 6:45 on Wednesday, 15 July so we can start at 7pm. Please RSVP and the joining details will be sent by email ahead of the meeting.
