One of The Centre’s key stakeholder groups are faith organisations. They have many successful community programmes, including soup kitchens, school lunch programmes, and tutoring, which are contributing to the development of a better Bermuda.
However, in the past there has been infrequent coordination among these organisations and among other similar charities. The Centre launched a dialogue series with the faith organisations in 2006. Then, our Board Member Pastor Gary Simons, gave a workshop entitled 'Removing the Roadblocks that Hinder Funding for Faith-based Organisations'. This dynamic workshop generated the energy among the faith organisations to create a regular forum.
In Fall 2007, we began working with a pilot group of organisations to formalise a framework for this forum. More information will soon be posted on this initiative.
