Camden Interfaith Network
In Camden, we recognise the positive impact that faith communities have on our wider community. For many residents, we know their personal faith is at the centre of their lives.
What the network is for
The Camden Interfaith Network brings together residents, faith and community organisations, creating a space for open dialogue and collaboration. Our goal is simple: to promote community cohesion by sharing knowledge, insights, and resources, while highlighting the issues that matter most to our diverse communities.
Faith representatives are often at the forefront of local responses, and together, we work to provide support and reassurance, especially in times of challenge. Throughout the year, we host a range of events, from coffee mornings and local history walks to tree planting and community iftars, all designed to build stronger connections between people of faith and celebrate the power of diversity.
By working together, we can create real, positive change and foster trust, understanding, and connection across Camden. We're building a connected and vibrant interfaith community, and we'd love residents of faith to be part of this journey. Come and make a difference with us.
Get in touch
Contact us by email [email protected], if you would like to find out more about joining the network or our work. Our officers would love to connect with faith leaders or lay members from across the borough. Email us to arrange a time to meet and connect.
Interfaith Month 2026
Camden will be celebrating Interfaith Week throughout the month of November. We couldn’t squeeze it all into one week, so we have an entire month of crafts, coffee mornings, walks and more. Interfaith Week is an annual initiative every November, aimed at strengthening interfaith relations, increasing awareness of the diversity and contribution of faith communities in the UK, and fostering understanding between people of different religious and non-religious beliefs. The theme this year is "Lighting the Way for a Shared Future,” inspired by the symbolism of light across faiths and traditions. We welcome faith and non-faith partners to get in touch if they would like to coordinate events. There are lots of resources on the Inter Faith Week website. If you’d like to host an event, email us at [email protected].
