IRD Activities

• Interfaith Relations

  The Board is recognised as the Jewish community leader on initiatives that promote good relations between the UK’s different faith and ethnic communities. We seek to develop strong partnerships and dialogue on a range of issues of mutual interest, including education, equality and fighting extremism. We see it as part of our mandate to speak out for other communities when they face discrimination, leading various campaigns against extremism from all quarters, and confronting violence and hate against minorities. We run events and activities which promote cooperation and social advancement. During Inter Faith Week and at other times during the year, we host events that bring together members of different faiths to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing religious people with learning disabilities, women of faith and religious professionals in the work place. The Board is keen to support interfaith initiatives, meeting regularly with organisations and individuals who share our view of a diverse, but united Britain.
