QPCO started off as grassroots, volunteer-led organisation. We retain strong links with many of the communities in Bedford that came together to create the orchard in Queen’s Park and have built further links with diverse communities across Bedford. We now offer a bespoke service for organisations and groups seeking to reach and engage certain sections of Bedford communities. These commissioned pieces of work help us to fund our capacity building work which focuses on supporting groups in the community to become empowered and self-sufficient.
