Following a period of research and development, led by Regional Action West Midlands (RAWM), the West Midlands Faiths Forum was launched in June 2003. It is an independent body aiming to provide a ‘meeting place' for the voices of the diversity of faith groups that will provide a medium whereby views can be heard and gathered in a structured manner by regional bodies, including the Regional Assembly.

The West Midlands Faiths Forum (WMFF) has 4 key aims:

To be a 'connecting hub' linking the faith sector with wider society and strategic bodies to inform and influence policy and decision making.
To facilitate discussion between and research among faith communities on matters of social and religious concern.
To help strengthen the capacity of faith communities to engage with policy-makers and service providers at local, regional and natioal levels and to act as their advocate.
To encourage community engagement and cohesion both through inter faith dialogue and discussion with the wider public.
