Relaxed performances

Dick Whittington 3rd Jan 2017 1pm

Access Performances 2016 - 2017

Our fabulous pantomime is a great festive outing and we are delighted to offer a relaxed performance 

So what is a relaxed performance and who is it for?

Suitable for both adults and children who would benefit from a more relaxed setting when attending the theatre, including people on the autism spectrum, people who make involuntary noises, people with learning disabilities, or just anyone who prefers a less formal environment when coming to see a show.

Of course the show is as good, as funny, as entertaining and as spectacular as at any other performance but the atmosphere in the auditorium is less formal than at a regular performance. It’s the opposite of the ‘quiet carriage’ on the train – there’s a relaxed attitude to noise, movement and a few small changes to the sound levels and some lighting effects are made.

We offer group discounts for 10 or more at this performance – please call our dedicated Group Sales Team on 01908 547609
Or email groupsales@theambassadors.com

For individual tickets please call;
Box Office 0844 8717652*
Access 0844 8717677*

Or visit atgtickets.com/miltonkeynes
*Booking fees apply. Calls cost 7p per minute plus your phone

Dementia support workers provide information and support to people with dementia and their carers by telephone and face to face. Visits can be arranged in people’s homes or at our office. If you would like to speak to someone, please telephone to arrange a suitable appointment.

As the Society gets to the end of its current 5 year strategy, we have been working with people affected by dementia to set the direction for the next stage of the journey.
The Society will launch the new 5 year strategy in April 2017. At the beginning of the year the new look and feel will be unveiled. From January we will be sharing more about the changes you can expect to see.
Additionally the Society will be calling for mandatory dementia training for all homecare workers in England. The most recent strand of the Fix Dementia Care Campaign focuses on homecare and the Society’s latest report reveals that only 2 per cent of people affected by dementia feel that homecare workers have enough dementia training. It also found that 1 in 3 homecare workers have no training in dementia. The Society is calling for minimum training standards and for the Care Quality Commission to include checks on the quality of dementia training when inspecting homecare providers.

MK Community Energy Alliance is an initiative formed in Milton Keynes in 2016 by Community Action: MK, Transition MK, Wolverton Community Energy, Camphill Communities Milton Keynes and MK People’s Assembly.

MK Community Energy Alliance is supported by CAPE, Community Action Platform for Energy as well as by the MK:Smart  projects.

The aim of this initiative is to celebrate and promote renewable energy initiatives in Milton Keynes, with a focus on community-owned energy model in particular, and to mobilise our local communities to get involved and support these. A more specific aim of the alliance is to organise a series of educational events and produce resources for citizens of Milton Keynes on the topic of community energy.

MK Community Energy Conference 2017 – 25 February 2017

We are delighted to let you know that we are in the process of organising a conference dedicated to community energy and the sustainable history of Milton Keynes.

For more information please follow the link: http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=c4386cb7d45690f9ad65f1f0d&id=2a2d99e0be&e=c62e1ed9e5

YMCA Milton Keynes ‘Sleep Easy’

Milton Keynes YMCA is calling on the local community in Milton Keynes to take part in our annual ‘Sleep Easy’ fundraising event to raise awareness of rough sleeping and raise money for young, homeless people.

 The event, which will take place on Friday 3^rd March and will last from 7.00pm – 7.00am the next morning, invites participants to brave the cold for one night and sleep in a makeshift cardboard box outside the YMCA in CMK.

MK YMCA already serves approximately 500 young, homeless people a year in the area and having lost £194,000 in council funding, we are looking to raise awareness among local people of what it is like to be on the streets for just one night.

Participants are asked to pay an entry fee of £10 to take part in the event, with all funds being used to eradicate the reality of youth homelessness for many young people. They are also encouraged to raise money through sponsorship.

According to the MK Community Foundation ‘Vital Signs’ report, at the end of January 2016 there were 27 confirmed rough sleepers in the city with another 31 reported but unconfirmed. This is a 237% increase on 2013 when there were 8 confirmed rough sleepers in MK. However, these are the official figures, but in reality the figures are probably higher as they don’t take into account those who are constantly sofa surfing.

 2. MK VISITOR REGISTRATION FORM - 4 APRIL 2017

Govconnect is a social enterprise dedicated to assisting the wide range of organisations in the UK & EU challenged with delivering health and social care policy. We seek to ensure that the vision for Health and Care is delivered upon across all UK and European geographies and administrations.

Through a series of strategic conferences and accompanying digital and social engagement strategies, Govconnect will provide a platform to drive greater collaboration.

In turn, it is hoped that models of care can be improved upon, partnerships strengthened and that through engagement with local communities and their local and national delivery agents tasked with the provision of Health & Care; the quality of patient experience, safety, and care is enhanced.

Through our inaugural conference in London and the accompanying Northern version, we have ensured that the leading stakeholders are convened to discuss the progressions to date. These activities have empowered hundreds of health and care professionals with valuable insight on future policy aspirations for 2020 and beyond. The huge success of these initiatives have also enabled Govconnect to utilise its social status and reinvest back into many community projects and National charities.

To ensure that we deliver on our pledge we are urging policy makers, government departments and all responsible agencies and organisations to work with us on these unique set of challenges.

As one of the UK’s fastest growing social enterprises we work with a range of local community projects on issues linked to Dementia, in addition to investing our profits to key research charities and many other worthy causes.

We invite you, your friends and family to local charity, BucksVision, Meadowcroft, Aylesbury to hear a talk about our essential support work for blind and partially sighted people in Buckinghamshire.

JUNE IS THE MONTH OF ACTION ON PAVEMENT PARKING IN MILTON KEYNES

Calling all Citizens– Milton Keynes needs you!

RNIB, Bucks Vision and Guide Dogs are working together to tackle the thorny problem of pavement parking in the Milton Keynes area. So many people with visual impairments have complained to us about cars blocking their path that we’ve got to act.

We are going to have a ‘month of action’ in June. We’re planning a variety of activities: blindfold walks with councillors and MPs, having a stall in the shopping centre to get signatures on the pavement-parking petition, distributing leaflets, visiting local politicians and getting as much publicity as we possibly can to stop people parking their cars on the pavements.

It’s going to take a lot of work - and that’s why we really need your help. We need volunteers for the activities. We need people to talk to their councillors and to journalists. We need photographs of badly-parked cars in your area so that we can make display boards.

Working together gives us the best chance we’ll ever have of cracking the pavement-parking problem - but it will only happen if everyone pitches in for June’s month of action. We really do need you!

Please come along to our planning meeting to hear more about this campaign and to tell us what activities you can help with.

When: 2pm on May 12^th

Where:.  Centrecom 602 North Row, Behind MK Central Library, Secklow Gate West, Central Milton Keynes MK9 3BJ

Just drop one of us an email or ring us to say you’ll be there. If you can’t get to the meeting, please get in touch to talk about what you can do. Here are our contact details:

Campaign against parking on pavements

Cars parked on pavements is a thorny problem making it dangerous to walk on pavements for the visually impaired, the elderly, people with mobility issues, wheelchair users as well as parents with children in buggies. We are campaigning to ask the government to roll out London style rules on parking all over the country.

We will be holding a stall in the Food Hall, Central Milton Keynes as well as outside McDonald’s in the shopping building to collect signatures on the petition forms on Saturday, 17 June 2017 from 10 a m to 3 p m. I will be delighted if you can pop round and sign the petition if you happen to be in the City Centre. If you are unable to visit the City Centre on the day, I shall be grateful if you could sign the petition online.

LISTENING THE VOICES OF HATE SURVIVORS

The Fight Against Hate campaign of Citizens:MK has won the support of MK Council in hosting a new approach to reducing the effects of hate crime.  Hate legislation covers five grounds: race/nationality, religion, sexuality, gender identity and disability. The Council will host a twilight session, to hear the voices of residents, and/or those working or studying in Milton Keynes, who have experienced some form of hate towards them in MK, no matter how big or small.  The aim is to reduce their discomfort by simply giving them the opportunities to listen to each other’s stories about what happened to them.

The quiz starts at 8:30 and finishes between 10 and 10:30, it is advisable to arrive early to get a table. It is a good atmosphere as the questions are hand-picked and not so hard that it becomes boring.

Teams can have up to 8-people in them and each person pays £1 to enter. All entry money goes to the charity and we generally raise between £50-£80. It is not a fortune but it will also raise awareness of the local charity.
