FaithNetEast is an information and learning hub for faith communities in the East of England region. Funded by the Faith Communities Capacity Building Fund in the Home Office, it is hosted by the East of England Faiths Council (EEFC) and is an initiative run in partnership with Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge.
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 'Faiths Base', a database of thousands of faith communities across the region which can be searched from this website. It has been compiled and is maintained by Anglia Ruskin University with funding from the Regional Equalities Forum through the Change Up initiative. It contains contact details and summary information about activities (where available). Faiths Base can be searched by location, by organisation or by faith tradition.
FaithNetEast has three further strands:
| • | A newsletter containing information about any new policies, developments and funding opportunities for faith communities. |
| • | Information and learning events - one day events for faith communities to come together and share and develop information, learning and skills. |
| • | Development work with two faith-based community initiatives in a process of action research. |
