Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what activities are undertaken by participants in his Department's Together in Service scheme.

‘Together in Service’ is a £200,000 grant programme that aims to celebrate the practical contribution that faith communities make to society through volunteering, and to motivate and inspire new multi-faith social action projects. It builds on the success of the ‘A Year of Service’ programme held during 2012 to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

It is one of a number of integration projects that my Department is funding to bring people together from different backgrounds and help build stronger communities in partnership with voluntary organisations, businesses and local residents.

Detail for each of the projects awarded funding through the Together in Service scheme can be found here:
