· practices of a faith community in your local community area.

The aims of the Faith Award are to:

· develop a greater understanding of a faith community

· ensure there is a positive influence on everyone taking part

· have a long-term benefit in encouraging greater understanding or awareness of a local faith community

Examples of projects might include:

· working with an agency of your own faith community
