SET to Strive for Excellence in our Community

Posted by Jacqui on 27th October 2021

Visual Identity attended the first face-to-face Friends of the MK SET Trust Event since the pandemic on Tuesday, 26th October.

Papa John‘s (GB) Ltd and Brioche Pasquier UK supplied the food, and it was fantastic and very tasty. 🍕

MK Dons SET – Friends of the Trust Event

The presentation from MK Dons SET CEO Marilyn Smith was excellent. She really demonstrated that the Set to strive for excellence in everything they do. She informed the room about the new programmes they have delivered in the last 6 months. Plus, all the things we can look forward to supporting in the following months. 👏🏻 

MK Dons Sport and Education Trust (SET) operates as an independent charity aligned with Milton Keynes Dons. They use the Club‘s brand as a tool for engagement to improve the lives and experiences of its local community. The SET delivers life-changing programmes in Milton Keynes and the surrounding area. It focuses on education, social inclusion, health and well-being, girls and women’s football, football development and community delivery. 

Visual Identity proudly supports the SET and gets involved with such a worthy local charity. 😎 

We met some brilliant young talents and heard from two of the SET‘s KickStarters. MK Dons FC has offered Marcus and Robbie full-time roles in Groundskeeping and Media. Both explained how the programme has given them a purpose. They couldn’t have done it without the support of MK Dons SET and the funding gained from our Friends of the Trust initiative. 

After the presentation, we discussed with Robbie how VI will support him with some additional personal development. We plan to mentor him by allowing him to work with our digital and social media marketing team. 🧑

Community outreach focus

Vi‘s objective over the next three years is to increase our community outreach. Connect with other businesses and charities such as the MK Dons Set Trust. We want to support these local charities and good causes to make a difference to the people they help.

The MK Dons Set thanked all of the Friends of the Trust members for helping the SET “Set to Strive for Excellence in our Community”.

After the event, we returned to the Stadium to watch Aston Villa Football Club (Under 21s) V Milton Keynes Dons Football Club in the Papa Johns Trophy.  A win would have been nice, but we felt delighted to receive the invitation and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Thank you to everyone involved. ⚽
