Queen’s Park Community Organisation is a grassroots organisation and registered charity (1199226) targeting the most deprived areas in Bedford. We have four objectives, Welfare, Capacity Building, Recreation and Relief of Poverty. As a Bedford Charity, we empower local people to make a difference by building bridges between communities, schools and organisations via our 3 current programs:
We believe all people should have equal access to the services, funds and opportunities they are entitled to. Our Intervention officers support individuals to navigate statutory and non-statutory services and to manage a wide range of life issues compounded by discrimination, literacy and language barriers, cultural and religious difference.
Supporting small, inexperienced voluntary groups to set up, become positive influencers for change in their communities and become self-sufficient and sustainable.
QPCO believe that having a youth strategy is core to achieving change in Bedford. This is why we invested in developing a youth program. As part of that work, we are currently running a social action project to empower young people through a range of recreational and educational activities to learn and get involved in their local area and help to build stronger communities by building bridges between them and the different groups in the area.

Thank you Bedford Hindu Temple for a lovely evening. Thank you Ralley Rahman from ILearn Bedford for joining us! Nice to meet again @highsheriffofbedfordshire and his parents at the event!
The Annakut is celebrated the day after Diwali, and for many Hindus, this day marks the beginning of the new year, thus the Annakut is also an offering of thanks to God and Guru for all one has received in the past year. During the festival, Swaminarayan devotees prepare and offer a large variety of vegetarian food to Hindu deities including Swaminarayan and Krishna, among others. #CommunitiesWorkingTogether #partnershipworking #Annakut #weareqpco

Thank you @nhs_elft and especially the CAMHS team for visiting the Khush Haal group. Discussion about Mental Health in young people and adults sparked conversations about Mental Health perception in different cultures, the barriers that certain communities face with this topic and the gap between services and communities. The session was in English and Urdu. #WomenSupportingWomen #CommunityEngagement #weareqpco #mentalhealthawareness
