West Midlands Faiths Forum
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.
