Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce has named Willen Hospice as its Charity of the Year for 2026/2027.

As Charity of the Year, Willen Hospice will receive complimentary Silver Chamber Partner membership, giving the charity access to a wide range of networking opportunities and business support throughout the year.

The membership also includes complimentary tickets to selected Chamber networking events, increased visibility through the Chamber’s website, and further opportunities to share its work through wider Chamber publications.

The Chamber’s Charity of the Year initiative is designed to give local charities a stronger platform within the business community, helping them raise awareness, build meaningful relationships and connect with organisations across the county.

Willen Hospice is here to make sure they have the best possible quality of life, for however long their life may be. We provide free expert care and support for patients and their loved ones. The majority of this work is funded by our generous local community.

Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce Membership Manager Jenny Copeland said: “We feel it is important to support county charities and to highlight the incredible contribution they make to our local communities.

“Willen Hospice plays an essential role in supporting people across Milton Keynes.”

“We are proud to name Willen Hospice as our Charity of the Year for 2026/2027 and look forward to working with the team to help raise their profile, build new relationships and connect them with businesses across the county.”

Keira Caso Business and Partnerships Executive said “We are absolutely delighted and incredibly grateful to have been chosen as the Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce Charity of the Year. At Willen Hospice, we provide free palliative and end-of-life care to people and their families, both in our hospice and in their own homes. As a charity, we rely heavily on the generosity of supporters and business partnerships to help fund our services. This partnership is a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of the care we provide, connect with Chamber members, and develop meaningful relationships with organisations that share our commitment to making a difference. We would like to thank the Chamber and its members for their support, and we look forward to working together throughout the year to reach more people, inspire support, and create a lasting impact across Milton Keynes.”
