Community, voluntary and faith groups were invited to apply for the funding to lead on this project with Slough Borough Council. Slough Council for Voluntary Services (SCVS) was awarded the contract at the end of December after being successful with a bid for the project.

Over the next few months, a number of activities will be held with faith and community groups from across Slough with the aim of co-creating a Slough Faith Compact-style commitment to collaboration, inclusion, peace-building and strengthening cross-faith relationships.

Micro-grants will be available for faith-groups to aid discussion and participation of residents into the commitment and ideas for future focus.

Asma Aziz, Chief Executive Officer at Slough CVS, said: “This is a great opportunity to be working alongside the council, faith and voluntary groups, to support and create safe and inclusive spaces for dialogue, learning and collaboration, helping to strengthen social cohesion, respect and resilience at a time when it is needed most.”
