This year saw the launch of MK Dons Sports and Education Trust first Awards ceremony celebrating the achievements of participants from our 38 programmes. The Awards were attended by 340 people, including award winners, families, MK Dons & Academy players and staff, and our amazing sponsors. The Awards were attended by MK Mayor and Mayoress and MK Dons SET Trustees who helped to celebrate the successes alongside MK Dons FC and MK Dons SET staff.
74 participants from across our Boys, Girls, Inclusion pathways and Schools partners received awards nominated by players, managers and by MK Dons SET staff. The Awards were presented by MK Dons SET key sponsors Brioche Pasquier, Suzuki and MK Dons FC along with Friends of the Trust sponsors, without them these Awards would not be have been possible.
The event took place in the Ballroom of Stadium MK and gave our younger participants an opportunity to experience a full awards ceremony for the very first time just like our MK Dons FC.
CEO Maralyn Smith said:
‘Everyone at MK Dons SET is immensely proud of the achievements of everyone within SET, for the skills they are developing as players, as good people with a sense of fairness and equity, that they want to share in Milton Keynes. We look forwards to hosting next years event and being even bigger and more diverse in our representation of our programmes next year’
