Research project,—Role of Women
With our theme of challenge, naming the things we only talk about in private, we are exploring a new research project with Birmingham University. We’ll work with a team of researchers, to visit and speak with women from faith communities of all faiths in the Borough.
Their experiences will be bought together, into a compilation in which no-one is identifiable.
The project will then be bought to a series of meetings with leaders and members in all of our communities, in the hope of beginning a discussion based on real experiences from real women.
Young Peoples Faiths Forum
The YPFF is designed to bring together young people from varied faiths communities, to act together in their communities. The project will start by bringing together young leaders from youth groups of four faiths across the area, initially in a series of team-building workshops, with opportunities to look at their experiences of their area, and what they would hope to do, given the opportunity to change that.

Working together with faith networks and faith groups, we’ll be seeking to build our influence across the area. If you’d like to know more, or to learn more about faith activity across the Black Country, contact Steve.
