Issue - meetings

            The Community Support Manager advised the SACRE that the Council had set up an Interfaith Partnership in Swindon.  This in no way affected the work of the existing Interfaith Group, which built relationships between different faith groups.  The purpose of the new Interfaith Partnership was to provide an opportunity for faith leaders and representatives to have a role in supporting the development and implementation of key initiatives and policies for Swindon, in particular the Local Area Agreement.  It was noted that the Partnership had been well supported at its initial meeting by a broad range of faith representatives. 

            Resolved that – The SACRE note the development of a new Interfaith Partnership in Swindon.
