Need for bridge building post EU Referendum

Press Release

3 July 2016

Faith groups pledge to build bridges.

 

In the wake of the EU Referendum, Hounslow Friends of Faith have made this statement:

“Hounslow Friends of Faith (HFOF) at their meeting on 30 June 2016 were saddened to note that following the result of the Referendum to leave the European Union incidents of targeted abuse have created concerns amongst our diverse faith and minority ethnic communities. This abuse and hostility is entirely at odds with the values of tolerance, valuing of diversity, and mutual respect, which we share.

We wish to extend our sympathy and support to any who have been targeted.

HFOF strives to promote religious harmony, equality and diversity in the Borough of Hounslow, creating opportunities through our various activities for bridge building by working together with our diverse faith communities and the public sector.”
