Faith Too Significant to Ignore

FaithAction is proud to be holding our National Conference:

As a national network, we have been supporting and bearing witness to the amazing endeavours that faith based organisations have been undertaking in their communities since 2006.

The first part of the day includes a range of speakers from central government giving their views on the significance of faith.

The second part will offer you a selection of workshops to equip you for a rapidly changing socio-economic landscape.

We will show them that faith makes a difference!

Daniel Singleton, National Executive Director of FaithAction describes why now is a time of great change within politics, how important faith can be in shaping local places, and why faith really is too significant to ignore:

Existing members of FaithAction are eligible to attend the conference at the discounted rate of £40 if booked before 17th October, and £50 thereafter.
