Queenβs 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 programmes:
We believe all people should have equal access to the services, funds and opportunities they are entitled to.Β 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 differences.
We support small, inexperienced voluntary groups to set up, become positive influencers for change in their communities, and grow into self-sufficient and sustainable organisations.
QPCO believes that having a youth strategy is core to achieving change in Bedford. This is why we invested in developing a youth programme. 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, get involved in their local area, and help build stronger communities by building bridges between young people and the diverse communities in the area.

π Our Chair of Trustees, Eric Masih, and Project Coordinator, Leesa Tall, had the pleasure of attending the Connolly Foundation Impact in Action Celebration Event last night.π
As a newly funded partner of the ConnollyFoundation, it was incredible to hear first-hand stories from individuals whose lives have been transformed by their support. Listening to the profound difference this funding makes was both humbling and inspiring: a powerful reminder of what is possible when organisations invest directly in people and communities.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who shared their stories, passion, and work. It was wonderful to celebrate the Foundation`s incredible impact and connect with so many individuals dedicated to making a difference.
