What is this service?

We aim to develop positive relationships in multi-faith areas i.e To help people from different faiths get to know and understand each other better.

We also encourage people of different faiths and of no faith to come together for initiatives that improve their local neighbourhood.

We are present in the northern towns of Hyndburn, Rossendle, Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley, Pendle, in Manchester, Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, Salford and Trafford, as well as Leeds, Bradford and Dewsbury. In the Midlands we are working in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Sandwell, Walsall and Dudley, Leicester and Nottingham. In the South we operate in Luton, Peterborough and across most of London.

Each of these locations is covered by one of our local hubs which act as a focal point for much of the work of the programme.  A coordinator is based at each hub connecting with local projects and developing the work of the programme.
