FaithAction response to Civil Society Strategy consultation
The Office for Civil Society has been running a ‘listening exercise’ in advance of developing a new strategy for how government should engage with civil society (that is, the parts of society that are not government or business organisations).
FaithAction has responded to the consultation based on our experience and engagement with our members and members of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Faith and Society. We’ve called for closer links between national and local government and faith-based organisations, as for faith forms such a substantial sector of civil society and has much to contribute in terms of solutions to the challenges the UK faces.
