Get involved
There are lots of ways to contribute. Volunteer with us, join our internship scheme, make a donation, or keep up with our news and events.
Support our work
Statistics show that more than half of hate crimes in the UK are motivated by race or religion. These aren’t just numbers: they are thousands of people and families denied a sense of safety, security and belonging. The feeling of exclusion reaches beyond those targeted directly, to everyone in their community.
Faiths Forum for London believes we all have a duty to the people affected, and to work towards a stronger, more inclusive and connected London. But we can’t do it without you. Your contribution helps us reach more people, strengthen relationships and open up new collaborations, all to make our communities safer, healthier and happier.
With your donation we can carry on our work across the country, building strong connections between faiths and projects that make faith and society more inclusive. Every penny goes towards our vision of a free, fair and happy society. Our success is only possible because of the generosity of our supporters.
Volunteer
We pride ourselves on our dynamism and how quickly we can respond to issues that affect the communities we support. We are always looking for volunteers who share our interfaith values and can be mobilised at short notice to help deliver our grassroots projects in communities throughout London.
We empower our volunteers and interns by giving them responsibility for organising and delivering key programmes led by our staff. Our central team thrives on working together, discussing solutions to complex issues as a group so that we consider a range of perspectives.
Keep informed
We run regular projects and events on subjects that matter to London’s faith communities. We have a large network of contacts in the interfaith and voluntary sectors, and among people involved in political and civic decision-making, and we keep up with the major projects and events in these sectors in London and beyond. Our research staff also follow world events that are relevant to our work.
Our programmes range from promoting organ donation within faith communities to empowering young women through self-defence classes. Follow us on social media and see our news and events to stay informed.
Careers and internships

Internship scheme
We run an internship scheme twice a year, in line with university term dates.
Our interns develop their skills and take real ownership of projects, so that their time with us acts as a launchpad into a successful career. Through our extensive network, they meet senior policymakers, NGO leaders and religious leaders.
We trust our interns and invest in their skills: half of the members of our senior team are former interns. Previous interns have gone on to careers at the United Nations, the Cabinet Office and key international development institutions.
Applications for the internship scheme are currently closed.
