  • Groups report back on donations from QPARA

    Mike Cantor reported back to the April monthly meeting on how the donations made by QPARA in 2017 had been spent. In March 2017 we agreed donations of £1,000 to each of the following groups with a connection to the Queen’s Park area:

    Brent Action for Refugees to fund tea/social evenings for Syrian refugees in Brent

    Brent Centre for Young People to give Adolescent Exploratory Therapy to two young people who live in the Queen’s Park area

    Laurence’s Larder to provide food, clothing, washing and drying facilities to refugee asylum seekers in Brent

    Our Global School to cover the cost of transporting volunteer school students from Salusbury School and Queen’s Park Community School to a township school in Kayamandi, South Africa

    The Promise Foundation to help fund a monthly Skills Club, based in the Queen’s Park Community School to help tackle educational disadvantage in Brent

    Salusbury World to help with the funding of a Winter Party for refugee children and to help fund excursions for refugee women and children

    Shakespeare in the Squares to help with the costs of a production of Romeo and Juliet in Queen’s Park on 24th June.

    Each group provided Mike with a report on how they had used the donations. These can been viewed by clicking here and here.
