Yesterday I attended the official opening of the Head Office and Learndirect Centre of Faith Regen Foundation.
Faith Regen is a Muslim-inspired multi-faith UK based charity with strong links to Government, third sector organisations and international bodies. They specialise in faith community and intercultural dialogue, capacity building and regeneration.
Working particularly with diadvantaged Black and Asian Minority Ethnic communities, they aim to address poverty, regenerate deprived areas, and provide a range of enabling services in culturally sensitive settings. Faith Regen also promotes greater understanding between faiths and identifies solutions for encouraging positive relationships within a multi-faith society based on a collaborative approach.
I have been proud to be involved with Faith Regen of the first eight years of its existence and to count its founder, Saif Ahmad, and current CEO, Dr Husna Ahmad, as personal friends. Yesterday's launch was typical of the organisation: welcoming, personable, enthusiatic and enabling.
