Great to see this article about our Faith Covenant Evaluation Report launch by @PremierNewsDesk. premierchristian.news/en/news/articl…

We're so proud and pleased to be launching an evaluation of the Faith Covenant, exploring how Faith Covenants work and steps to help them improve in the future. Grab your own copy from our website covenant.faithaction.net

The in-built public messaging mechanisms within faith organisations enables them to have a bigger reach into communities, Faith Action’s Faith Covenant allows that reach to transform into organised social action. #FaithAction #FaithCovenant #Policy #Government

What is the Faith Covenant? The Faith Covenant makes sure that community and policy are said in the same breath, aligned and ready to make impact on society. #faith #FaithCovenant #Policy #Government

Our panel continues answering questions about how Faith Covenants can dovetail into the Civil Society Covenant, how power was considered within the evaluation, and how women can be better included in certain structures.

Questions from our audience include how can faith be better placed to take advantage of programmes such as social prescribing, and how do we get responses and measure the impact of grassroots organisations.

This report tells us the obvious, the way that faith works locally can be different, but when it works, it works fantastically well. @BishopRobW

Our attendees are getting an opportunity to ask questions of our panel.

Faith Covenants need to have a champion to work effectively @ASUbhi. Lots of work went into the original Covenant in Birmingham, shaping what the Covenant would become.

Faith should look at how to become more businesslike, holding our local authorities to account @mustafafield

The attendees are hearing from a panel of Faith leaders, Covenant representatives and our evaluation team sharing their responses to the report.

What is the Faith Covenant? The Faith Covenant is… Faith in Social Action! Faith in Community! Faith in Policy! #FCFaithAction #FaithCovenant
