Milton Keynes Lightning Ice Hockey Club supporters have once again stepped up for the local community, donating a large collection of essential items to UnityMK following a successful appeal at Sunday night’s game.

The donations were delivered on Monday by representatives from AIB Group, the MK Lightning Supporters Club and the Lightning organisation, as part of the club’s Community Foundation partnership with AIB Group.

The collection was organised through the MK Lightning Community Foundation, jointly created with AIB Group, and invited fans to bring practical items to support UnityMK’s work with people experiencing homelessness across Milton Keynes. Supporters responded in impressive numbers, contributing a wide range of everyday essentials designed to make a real difference during the winter months.

Aaron from AIB Group, Dave from the MK Lightning Supporters Club, Lightning Head Coach Tim Wallace and player Janne Jokinen attended the drop-off on Monday, meeting staff and seeing first-hand how the donations will be used to support guests at the shelter.
