Weβre incredibly grateful to Trace Solutions for their generous donation of three desktop PCs to QPCO.
These computers will go to volunteers and families with children who would otherwise go without access to this essential technology. In an increasingly digital world, a computer is more than just a device, itβs a gateway to education, employment, and critical services.
This donation is helping to bridge the digital divide and create real, lasting impact in our community. Thank you for supporting our mission and helping us empower those we serve. π»β¨

It was lovely to see so many organisations present at the recent community coffee morning, offering people the chance to connect with and access a wide range of services. These included East Bedford PCN , bpha , Good Life Sorted , ILearn Bedford , ACCM UK , Citizens Advice Bedford , Carers in Bedfordshire , and many more.
Our presence truly makes a difference in the community!
Cancer awareness was a key focus of the eventβand rightly so. Early detection and timely support can save lives, yet many people are still unsure about the signs to look out for, when to seek help, or where to turn for advice. The event provided a valuable opportunity to have open conversations, share information on screening programmes, support services, and local resources available for those affected by cancerβwhether they are patients, carers, or concerned family members.
By raising awareness and making support more accessible, weβre helping to break down barriers, reduce stigma, and empower individuals to take control of their health.
