The Interfaith Forum in Tower Hamlets provides an opportunity to celebrate the significant contribution that faith organisations have in the lives of local people. It also provides the space to discuss how faith organisations can play an even bigger role in the future success of all communities who live and work here.

One of the most important roles of the Interfaith Forum is to improve communication and understanding between the different faiths in Tower Hamlets. In the current international climate, this role is a vital one, and to which I warmly invite your contribution.
