People who benefit annually from our initiatives
We were born from a simple belief: when neighbours are resourced and respected, they become the architects of their own future.
QNPF began as a modest neighbourhood collective committed to honouring the creativity already present in our communities. We met in living rooms, faith centres, and local schools to listen before we designed solutions.
Over time those conversations shaped programmes centred on youth leadership, holistic health, and sustainable livelihoods. We learned that trust grows when residents lead the way and see their ideas reflected in the work.
Today we partner with grassroots organisations, local government, and long-time neighbours to co-create initiatives that are transparent, compassionate, and measurable. Every milestone is a shared win powered by community voices.
These principles keep us accountable to the communities that entrust us with their stories, dreams, and momentum.
We champion solutions that honour the lived experience of every person we serve.
Community voices guide our programmes from concept to measurement.
We invest donor trust responsibly and communicate impact openly.
We cultivate leaders of all ages who co-design change with their neighbours.
We iterate with humility, sharing insights and adapting programmes alongside community partners.
We celebrate cultural traditions, creativity, and play as vital ingredients for lasting impact.
Every step forward is a celebration shared with civic partners, families, and volunteers across the region.
A small collective of community organisers establish QNPF to bridge resource gaps with compassion.
We launch after-school hubs designed with local youth councils, blending arts, STEM, and mentorship.
QNPF coordinates a coalition of clinics and volunteers delivering preventative care in underserved areas.
