As Communities Secretary, I’m proud this is a country where 89% of people view their local area as a place where people from different backgrounds get on well together.

Since 2010, we have invested £60 million on community integration programmes.

Building on this, during Inter Faith week this month, we announced a further £250,000 for ‘The Common Good’ fund. This will bring even more communities together to tackle intolerance.
