Kiana: “ I'm a 24-year-old from Iran who initially pursued a path in engineering, following in my family's footsteps. After three years of apprenticeship and an additional year in the industry, I realised that the corporate world wasn't the right fit for me…”
Saira, our MK Girl Business member: “I am a qualified personal training specialising in coaching and empowering women to become their strongest selves. I am so passionate about the benefits of strength training for women both physically as well as mentally. I want to educate and inspire women to create a positive relationship with exercise.”

Today not only did we welcome His Majesty King Charles III but we also ‘officially’ became a city.

Our Community Manager Charlotte Moyle got a lovely wave from him, and said:

“It’s times like these that remind me just how amazing our community is. Today we came together to welcome our King who has witnessed togetherness and what is happening in our city. Our local charities, organisations and businesses could be seen and heard. I love our city. I’m proud to be an MK Girl, and I’m proud to support Milton Keynes.”

You need to hear this⬅️

“Months ago I put out a message on the Facebook Group MK Girl.

I thought, there must be women out there who feel like me! Surely there are girls out there that regret not continuing to play, or would love a kick about one time…

What began with a group of girls who turned up at a field with no idea who each other were or what this would be, turned into, in a matter of months, a ladies team, kitted out, training twice weekly & playing matches🏆”

And THIS is why we exist. Send that message, make new friends, find travel buddies, team mates, careers and so much more through City Girl Network.
