Dudley Borough, with a large network of faith organisations and the local authority anchoring an extensive partnership, led the way and and launched its As One initiative in 2021. During 2022, launches also took place in Birmingham, Bournemouth, Chrischurch & Poole, Hampshire, Walsall and Worcestershire.
In each area, the initiative has the benefit of being locally-driven, harnessing local creativity and energy and creating a unique identity, but with access to national resources, experience and profile.
We are also working with national bodies, to communicate the vision ‘down the chain’ to those they represent in their individual localities.
