SIEVEMK Gateway was founded in 2007 to address the problem of educational underachievement among young people, particularly BAME students.
The charity that is run by a small team, as well as up to 10 volunteers, needs a new premises to meet demand from students and to serve the city’s growing population.
Sieve MK Gateway works tirelessly to support young people across the city, funds from the concert will be put towards the charity’s new learning and enterprise centre.
The project to build a new learning and enterprise centre began in 2017 and the charity is hoping to relocate to the North of the city where the building will provide space for tuition, exams, training suites, meeting rooms, studio space, and a community café.
