The Foundation is pleased to inform you that its Executive Director, Mehri Niknam MBE, has been selected as a member of the new advisory panel to John Denham MP, Secretary of State for the Department of Communities and Local Government.
To encourage a deeper and broader relationship between Government and faith communities, John Denham MP, today announced the appointment of 13 new faith advisers who will act as a 'sounding board' to advise on effective engagement with faith communities, and the impact of Communities and Local Government policy on faith communities.
John Denham said:
“This new panel brings together an unprecedented wealth of knowledge and experience. Each adviser has an outstanding track record of achievement. Together they will help inform Government on the views and values of faith communities, enabling us to learn from the unique insights that faith groups bring to contemporary issues."
