The Bus Shelter MK , which currently has its bus parked in a local car park, has been offered the chance to over the council's former landscaping depot on a 10 year lease.

This week the charity received £500 store credit from leading builders merchant Selco Builders Warehouse as part of the Selco Stars initiative.

They plan to use to the funds to help renovate a unit to be used by homeless people in the town.

Bus Shelter MK spokesman Pam Williams said: “We offer a route out of homelessness for people sleeping on the streets of Milton Keynes and have provided a temporary home to more than 70 people since opening in March 2018.

“We are currently based in a converted double decker bus in a car park but we have been offered a 10-year lease from Milton Keynes Council to take over a former landscaping depot.

“The existing unit needs to be completely refurbished and the exterior landscaped.

“These materials will be a huge boost and will help us to get the job done. We are extremely grateful to Selco.”

“This is a great example of how Selco Stars is making a big difference to communities across the UK.”
