Faith New Deal Fund
Created: 19/08/2022, Updated: 22/08/2022Sixteen faith-based groups working with the most vulnerable people in local communities will receive a boost to support their work through the Government’s £1.3 million Faith New Deal pilot scheme.
The groups will work in partnership with councils, schools, police, health providers and voluntary groups to develop innovative interventions to tackle social issues affecting those in most need of support.
Projects will include providing debt and employability advice, tackling food poverty, providing support for mental health issues and combatting loneliness and isolation.
The fund will also help faith groups to build on the collaboration with national and local government that happened during the pandemic.
