We are excited to announce a varied and interesting series of virtual events as part of this year’s Interfaith Week.

Swindon Interfaith Group is excited to announce we will be participating in the Interfaith Week ‘Buddy’ scheme throughout October and November 2020.

The scheme is open to those of all faiths and none; we will attempt to match you up as part of the scheme with someone of a different faith.

If you would like to take part, drop us a comment on this post with your name and faith or e-mail us: swindoninterfaithgroup@gmail.com
