Faith Advisory Panel
The Faith Advisory Panel is made up of interfaith organisations and groups that represent specific religions from across Greater Manchester.
It is aimed at providing these existing networks with more ability to influence decision-making across a wide range of policy areas.
Faith communities make a major contribution to our society in areas such as housing, education, health and wellbeing, social care and neighbourhood cohesion.
The panel will provide a unified, city region-wide voice for faith communities and provide Greater Manchester’s leaders with advice, support and challenge.
The faith panel launched in March 2021 and will evolve its own agenda and ways of working.
