The Mosques & Imams National Advisory Board (MINAB) is holding an event on Saturday 27th November 2010 with the theme “Enabling Faith communities to make a big impact on Society” at Leeds Makkah Masjid and we would like to invite you to this fantastic event.
This event is planned as part of the National Inter Faith Week and open to people of all faiths and no faiths, who are interested in the role and contribution of faith in society. The event would be a contribution to the series of events taking place across the country.
This initiatives is lead by MINAB with local communities in Northern England and other partners such as DEMOS, with the aim to highlight the role of faith communities on the Big Society Programme.
Faith communities have a long history of contributing to social action. They are able to impact on areas of high social needs, respond to local priorities, increase volunteering and have a history of working in the spirit of localism.
With the challenges facing Britain today, faith communities have huge potentials to make positive contributions to develop the "Big Society" Programme.
The event will bring together communities, partners of civil and civic society, to share ideas and learning involving local partners from policy makers to service providers.
Workshops will be on the following topics:
· “We must be the change we want to see in the world”
· What can faith communities offer?
· Social Action Initiatives/ Social Enterprises
· Environment
· Youth Disengagement
There will be key note speeches from prominent faith leaders, directors of inter-faith organisations and government officials.
