Why Become a Business Member?

Business's want to give back and make a difference in their local community, but many feel unsure where to start.

Our Business Membership can help you to have the biggest impact in supporting the communities and charities where you and your employees work.

Through our extensive knowledge of Milton Keynes, you can give with confidence through a trusted partner.

We chose to support the Next Generation Fund because they carry the potential to shape a better community.

At Huntsmill Farm, our commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship is at the heart of everything we do. Choosing to support the Environment Fund through our business membership donation was a natural extension of our core values. We invest in our local ecosystems at the farm and by contributing to the Environment Fund, we are investing in the health of our community. This partnership reflects our dedication to leading by example and inspiring others in the wedding industry and beyond to take meaningful action towards a more sustainable future.
