Supporting the MK Community Foundation

As we celebrate over 40 years of providing high-quality signage in Milton Keynes, we are thrilled to announce a significant new chapter in our journey: MK Marking Systems has officially become a Business Member of the MK Community Foundation, with a dedicated pledge to support the Next Generation Fund.

"Milton Keynes is a city built on big ideas and even bigger ambitions. By supporting the Next Generation Fund, we’re ensuring that every young person in our community—regardless of their background—has the opportunity to succeed. MK Marking Systems is honored to play a part in building a brighter, more equitable future for our city’s future leaders." Steve Curry, Director, MK Marking Systems Ltd

Since our founding in 1985, our mission has been simple: to provide the best possible signs and graphics to the businesses that make this region great. Our longevity is a testament to the support of our local clients across Milton Keynes city, Newport Pagnell, Wolverton, Stony Stratford, Olney, Buckingham and beyond. Now, we want to ensure that the next 40 years are just as bright for the people who live and work here.

The MK Community Foundation is a charity that understands the specific needs of our city, directing vital funding to the grassroots projects that need it most. Over the years the foundation has supported projects and organisations stretching from North Crawley, Tinkers Bridge, Two Mile Ash, Bow Brickhill, Stantonbury, Old Bradwell, Lavendon, Filgrave & Tyringham.

Our partnership with the MK Community Foundation specifically focuses on the Next Generation Fund. The future of Milton Keynes is reliant on its young people. However, many face significant barriers—from educational gaps to mental health challenges and economic disadvantage.

The Next Generation Fund works to:

• Support Education: Helping young people catch up on lost learning and reach their full potential.
• Empower Youth: Funding creative and social projects that give young residents a voice.
• Combat Poverty: Addressing the 30% of children in Milton Keynes currently living in poverty.

By supporting this initiative, MK Marking Systems isn't just making signs in Milton Keynes; we are helping build the signposts for a better future for our youth.
