About FaithNetEast
FaithNetEast is an information and learning hub for faith communities in the East of England. It is hosted by the East of England Faiths Council in partnership with the Faiths and Civil Society Unit at Goldsmith’s College in the University of London.Its purpose is to bring together people and organisations from all faiths in the region in a network for sharing information, learning from one another, developing skills and activities and working together.
The primary tool for this is the FaithsBase, a database of thousands of faith communities across the region which can be searched from this website. It was compiled by Anglia Ruskin University with funding from the Regional Equalities Forum through the Change Up initiative and is now maintained by the Faiths and Civil Society Unit at Goldsmith’s College. It contains contact details and summary information about activities (where available). FaithsBase can be searched by location, by organisation or by faith tradition.
The FaithNetEast website also offers:
- News, including new policies, developments and funding opportunities for faith communities
- information on relevant publications and resources
- Current issues and talking points affecting faith-based social action in the East of England
- a regional noticeboard
- a summary of events
- information on some of the organisations which FaithNetEast is working with
