The Secretary of State announced a new Faith Leadership in Government Fund worth £1.2m, which is designed to boost the capacity of the national faith bodies who work with Government.

Government departments engage and consult faith communities on the development and implementation of policies that affect them and the communities in which they live.

The new fund will be able to make available packages of up to £30,000 to national organisations that can show a track record of representing and having real roots in their communities, of working with government, and of having a real contribution to make.

Applications will be through open competition, and bidding will open in summer 2010. Expressions of interest should be sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  Media Enquiries: 0303 44 41138 Out of hours: 0303 444 1201
