Interfaith relations are vital for strong, cohesive communities. The government is funding Inter Faith Week 2025 next week as a key moment in the national calendar for dialogue, learning, and connection between faiths and beliefs. I am sure many Hon Members will take part in events in their constituencies.
Alongside this, MHCLG funds programmes including Near Neighbours and Schools Linking which promote understanding across diverse communities.
The government will always champion faith and freedom or religion or belief at home and abroad.
