Havering Interfaith Forum

The Community Engagement Team of LBH and the Local Police are supporting the Havering Interfaith Forum to plan a Youth Interfaith Conversation which aims to bring young people from the different faith groups to engage and discuss matters of interest to young people in Havering.

We are interested in working with youth between the ages of 18 and 25 to participate in planning these programmes.

We would be grateful if you could pass on this message to the young people among your faith group who are interested to contact me either via phone or email.

Details are given below
