There are a lot of amazing people on this planet doing some fantastic work in their communities. These people are the heartbeats of nonprofits. Each year, Yardi offices around the globe embark on a mission to support such organizations, their staff members and volunteers. Employees often nominate nonprofits that hold a special place in their heart.

Yardi UK is proud to support the following nonprofits in their efforts to create a more just, peaceful, and equitable world. Follow any of the links below to show your support.

MK Food Bank– Milton Keynes has experienced its share of economic success. But like all metropolitan areas, many residents struggle with poverty and occasional crisis. With the help of referral agencies, Milton Keynes Food Bank identifies families and individuals facing food insecurity. The non-profit then provides nutritious, essential food items throughout the year. MK Food Bank is fully funded by donations and operated by volunteers.

MIND BLMK– Did you know that 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health issue each year? About 1 in 6 will experience a mental health issue at some point in their lives. MIND BLMK wants to ensure that no-one has to face a mental health problem alone. The non-profit offers aid through peer support groups, mentoring, counselling, and corporate programs for clients of all ages in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes.

Age UK Milton Keynes– Many seniors face isolation and a lack of support. Age UK provides an array of services for older adults in need. Through the organization, seniors can receive counselling and social activities as well as services like cleaning, technology support, and vetted trade recommendations.

Keech Hospice– Keech is one of very few organizations that provide free care for adults and children facing life-limiting and terminal illnesses. Clients receive care in an environment that promotes as much normalcy as possible: “specialist care supports adults and children to live pain and symptom free, to spend untroubled time with their family and friends, to understand what’s happening to them, to stay out of hospital and to make the most of the time they have.” To operate, Keech Hospice requires about £6 million every year. Nearly 70 percent of funding is sourced through donations.

Inter-Action MK– Art empowers individuals and unites communities. Inter-Action MK harnesses the power of art to help participants with support needs or disabilities to develop creative, personal and social skills. Participants receive mentoring, training in the arts, and social programming that enables them to gain work and experience in the cultural sector.
