Hounslow Friends of Faith (HFOF) was established in the year 2000 following a local initiative to bring together the different faiths as part of the United Nations 'International Year for a Culture of Peace'. Since then we have grown and now have approximately 50 regular members with many others attending our events.
Membership is open to all people who are connected with the Borough of Hounslow and adjoining Boroughs, by residence, work or worship and who share our objects. The annual subscription, renewable in January each year, is currently £5 for individuals and £10 for organisations. Members receive information about our forthcoming events, a copy of the annual report and notification of the Annual General Meeting.
Hounslow Friends of Faith holds various events throughout the year. Each year in the summer we hold a ‘Walk of Peace and Friendship’ during which we visit places of worship in the Borough, usually on foot. These occasions are notable for the spirit of fellowship and the hospitality we receive wherever we go.
In the autumn we hold a community event, originally coinciding with 'One World Week' and now with Inter Faith Week, in November. This usually takes the form of a cultural occasion with music, dance, poems, talks, displays and of course food. The aim is to involve the wider community and families.
We also hold periodic talks, run a monthly inter faith knitting group and a bi-monthly women's discussion group. Please see the diary for our current programme. Other activities include an annual meeting of priests and faith leaders
