We found out in early 2023 that the Rotary Club of Sandy were collecting unwanted candles for Ukraine.
We like to get involved with projects like this, where we can redirect something stored at the back of a cupboard, to a good cause who can make use of them.
We collected candles in 2023, in 2024 and now we're doing it again in 2025.
We're collecting candles of all shapes and sizes, used and new, stand alone, in tins or glass.
Unused candles will be passed straight on to be used, while used candles are melted down by a team of volunteers and the resulting wax is then combined to make new candles.
You can find out more about the scheme here (this will take you to an external website).
If you're local to Milton Keynes and have some candles to donate please "Contact Us" and choose "Community" and we'll make arrangements for a member to collect your candles or for you to drop them off to us.
