On the blog this week, Matt looks back at the findings from one year of focus groups run as part of our Faith COVID Response project for MHCLG.
|
|
|
As part of this work that we were doing for the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), we wanted to use these focus groups to reach people on the ground in all sorts of different places of worship, making sure we were getting the most accurate picture of the issues and concerns facing worshiping communities across the board, as well as best practice and bright ideas they might have.

In just a few weeks’ time (currently pencilled in for 21st June), we are set to move into the final phase of the Government’s roadmap, where remaining restrictions are scheduled to be lifted. However, uncertainty still abounds, both about the date itself and how to move forward wisely beyond it..
Join FaithAction at 7pm on Wednesday 16th June for a national briefing event for faith communities with two members of the Government's Places of Worship taskforce and public health officials to discuss a way forward based on the latest advice.

Join us for the next instalment of the FaithAction Coffee House - a chance for you to share stories, ideas, and challenges, and to learn from each other.
You’re likely to be facing many of the same challenges; why not see if anyone else has a solution?
Next week's theme will be
Chaplaincy!
