Consultation

Since summer 2010 we have held meetings and arranged visits with over 30 faith and community organisations to ensure that our proposals for the Multifaith Community Centre are as robust and considered as possible. We will continue to work closely with consultees to ensure that the Multifaith Centre is a truely pioneering building of which Lewisham and London can be justifably proud.

Through our consultation work we are looking to identify organisations who might be based in the Centre. If you would like to be part of our consultation and are interested in the concept of the world’s first Multifaith Community Centre please contact Jordana Malik at Renewal on 020 8858 4484 or email below.
