Age UK Milton Keynes is excited to announce its innovative fundraising event, Dinner in the Dark, a one-of-a-kind dining experience designed to delight the senses while raising awareness and funds to support older people in the community.
This unique event will challenge attendees to enjoy a delicious three-course meal in complete darkness, offering an opportunity to understand and reflect on the experiences of those living with visual impairments and other disabilities.
Guests will be guided through the evening by trained staff, ensuring a safe yet transformative experience that encourages diners to focus on their sense of taste, smell, and touch. The immersive setting will shed light on the challenges faced by individuals living with disabilities, fostering greater empathy and understanding.
All proceeds from Dinner in the Dark will go directly to Age UK Milton Keynes, funding vital programs and services that support older people to lead fulfilling, independent lives.
