My Department is willing to work with all faith communities represented in the United Kingdom who are committed to integration. The Department for Communities and Local Government funds three programmes designed to encourage people of different faiths to come together at the local and national level in dialogue and shared endeavour. These are Near Neighbours (operated by the Church Urban Fund), Together in Service (operated by FaithAction) and support for the work of the Inter Faith Network for the United Kingdom. Muslims are among the faith groups that are involved in and benefit from these programmes.

We do not have specific pre-allocated budgets for working with individual faiths.
