<h1>G﻿ather, Collaborate, Imagine</h1>West Midlands Combined Authority &amp; Faith Strategic Partnership Group cordially invite you to join us for the 2022 Faith in Action Summit at Bescot Stadium on Wednesday 30th November 2022.Our focus is action as we gather faith and community organisations alongside civil leaders, local government, and public sectors bodies. We want to share best practice, encourage fresh thinking, and build collaboration. With the current economic pressures facing many across our region, this is an opportunity not only to hear from our leaders across the region but ensure the door remains open for faith and communities, to be able to collectively contribute to the strategic dialogue. This is a time when we urgently need to hear your voice!Throughout the Covid Pandemic, we saw the collaboration between faith and community organisations and public sector bodies. This summit will look at how we can build on those collaborations and move forward with new networks and opportunities. Did you know that Birmingham is the youngest city in Europe, with under 25s making up 40% of the population of the city? How as faith and communities across the region do we ensure their voices are being heard? Let us ask them to inform us of the future they imagine.This day should leave us with clear ideas and actions we can take to serve our communities, places and region.
