FAITH AND REGENERATION IN LEEDS

The faith and regeneration workshop from yesterday was still in my mind as I made my way back to the community development trust conference. It was a good workshop, raising the issues about governance, you can only affiliate if you are faith based. It raised issues about presence but most of all it was a great celebration of our role in britain.
A really great muslim guy suggested the following as key:
Develop partnerships - organisations
Develop relationships - people - regen officers etc.
Develop capacity - including consultancy work
Maximise resources - all faith organisations have resources - people and buildings.
Belief - yourself and in your community and your God

Glad to see we are on the right lines.
