2018 London Faith & Belief Community Awards
BMFF was recognised projects for services to and for faith and belief communities at the 2018 London Faith & Belief Community Awards.
This was presented to us by the Lord –Lieutenant of Greater London Sir Kenneth Olisa OBE
The event at the Royal Society of Medicine, celebrated the unsung heroes of London’s faith and belief communities.
The worthy winners of our category for Interfaith Relations went to the Muslim Jewish Forum of Stanford Hill (Hackney) which was the first formal organisation of its kind in the UK bringing together members of two faiths.
There was one other Barnet winner which recognised that of the Christmas Lunch on Jesus Project Jesus House http://www.jesushouse.org.uk/ in the Health and Wellbeing category to whom we offer our warmest congratulations.
BMFF signs up to The Charter for Faith & Belief Inclusion
Barnet Multi Faith Forum has signed up to The Charter for Faith & Belief Inclusion and to help to achieve their Goals.
Principles
- We believe in an inclusive society where people of different faiths and beliefs have strong and positive relations. We believe that intolerance has no place in our communities or workplaces, and that diversity adds value to our society.
- By connecting people of different faiths and beliefs, we can create a society which is fair to people of all backgrounds – religious and non-religious. We encourage people to engage more across differences and learn to understand each other better.
- We recognise the need to create a more open conversation about faith and belief in our communities and in all of the UK. We will have these conversations in a spirit of mutual respect and curiosity, and be open to different perspectives.
BMFF was also recognised for services to and for faith and belief communities in Greater London.
