  • Website Changes

    We have changed the way the website is hosted as the previous installation was rather out of date.

    The new arrangements will form a sound basis for future expansion.

    You may see a number of changes while we get to grips with the new facilities.

    Please report any problems to John Haines at QPARAweb@gmail.com

  • Ukraine Support Network

    Ukraine FlagSome QPARA members and other locals who want to support displaced Ukrainians and their hosts in the area have formed a support network to assist and complement what Brent Council and others are doing. It is not restricted to QPARA members. If you wish to get in touch with QPARA’s Ukraine Support Network, please feel free to contact Celia Frank (QPARAUkraine@gmail.com ) or Robin Sharp (robisharp@googlemail.com)

    We are very proud to welcome our Ukrainian guests and wanted to offer a short guide for guests and their hosts to help navigate the most important steps in getting settled in the UK. It is not comprehensive but should provide a valuable resource to get things started. 

    The document will be updated with shared learning as we discover more about the Homes for Ukraine scheme and as hosts and guests feed their experiences back to us.

    The most up-to-date version of the document can be downloaded from Dropbox by clicking on the link below. You don’t need a Dropbox account to do this, select the Download option (top left, select down arrow and then Download – this on a PC Browser, other browsers may differ)
