On July 7th 2022, members of QPARA and other friends gathered at the Bandstand in Queen’s Park to say farewell to Helen Durnford. Helen has been active in local issues for nearly 40 years and has co-ordinated the Queen’s Park Day team for about 15 years. She is moving to Wiltshire to be nearer family.

Amber Trust Concert
Derek Paravicini, the first beneficiary of the Amber Trust, is blind and autistic and a world famous pianist. The concert is a chance to see him live in Willesden Green! At Anson School, 9th July 7 p..m. He plays all kinds of music, plays requests from the audience, improvises on notes given to him by the audience – so entertaining and astonishing …
The Amber Trust supports musical children (from toddlers to young adults) who may be blind or partially sighted , maybe with other disabilities. For their beneficiaries, “music is not a pastime but a lifeline”.
Other beneficiaries of the Trust will be playing, the school choir will sing and it will be an entertaining and heart-warming occasion. Tickets are £20, £10 concessions including wine and light refreshments after the concert.
Please come and support this worthwhile charity, at the same time enjoying a concert to remember.

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We have changed the way the website is hosted as the previous installation was rather out of date.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