Supporting local causes
The science and technology facilities at Milton Park are a significant contributor to the Oxfordshire economy and local economies in Abingdon and Didcot, which helps attract new businesses to the area.
School engagement programme
Milton Park’s new school engagement programme, ‘Explore’ aims to build long-term connections between the Park, its occupiers and education providers in the surrounding area. The programme will initially run for a five-year period from February 2023, engaging with over 6,000 local students, showcasing the wide variety of careers available here, including Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) careers.
It is hoped that at least half of the Milton Park occupiers will take part in the scheme, which will provide an opportunity to collectively support students through career panels, site visits, employability skills, interview practice, live brief challenges and work experience. They will also be able to profile their entry level, apprenticeship, and graduate roles to young people in the local area.
Social responsibility
Our team feels passionately about supporting local causes and helping to make a difference to people’s lives.
Charities on the park
Local liaison group
Milton Park hosts regular Local Liaison Group meetings to keep local parish councillors and interest groups informed on all activities and potential future development opportunities so relevant information can be disseminated to local residents by members. An update on the Didcot Powerhouse Fund is also given.
