Empower people to make a difference

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:

Advocacy and Outreach Service:

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.

Capacity building:

Supporting small, inexperienced voluntary groups to set up, become positive influencers for change in their communities and become self-sufficient and sustainable.

Youth program:

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.
