About us
About Us
MK STOREHOUSE exists to extend worth, by offering dignity, restoring confidence and giving hope to individuals and families in our city. We believe every person has inherent worth and deserves to be treated with respect and care. Our vision is a city where no one is held back or excluded from education, employment, or community due to lack of basic essentials.
Beyond practical provision, we are committed to creating safe, welcoming and respectful spaces where people feel seen, valued, and supported. We aim to serve with kindness and compassion, recognising the unique story and circumstances of every person we meet, seeking to reduce stigma, build hope and help people move forward.
Sadly, in our city, 1 in 3 children live in poverty, and this widespread issue affects every part of life, from physical health to emotional wellbeing, and many people struggle to afford even the basics. We provide free, quality clothing and some hygiene essentials for adults and children of school age and above who are in need and have been referred to us.
A welcome, as well as a wardrobe
It’s more than
just clothing
We meet people where they are, not just offering clothing, but a warm welcome, a listening ear, and a safe space to talk. We also work in partnership with local organisations to signpost guests to additional support with issues such as debt, addiction, or housing.
Our goal is to help individuals take positive steps towards lasting change, because everyone deserves to feel cared for, supported, and seen.

Where there is a need, we pass donated clothing to other charities and agencies, mostly in Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas, and sometimes further afield. Clothing that cannot be used is recycled. Any money received from recycling supports the running costs of MK Storehouse.

Annual Uniform Event
Every year, we hold a free uniform recycle event during the summer holidays. This event is open to all and no referrals are needed. During the last event, we provided basic uniform items for over 350 Milton Keynes children.
Our wish is to see no families worried that they cannot afford expensive uniforms required by schools and no child bullied for not having the correct clothing. We also hold stock of uniform all year round and will always assist those needing items if we can.
Our Uniform Event will be back in 2027
Our new home
Relaunching
soon.
We hope to open to guests again soon.
Thank you for your patience and support.
