Our special campaign for our Tower Hamlets Hub - STAND WITH THE FEAST is now live. We urgently need donations to keep this hub open.

Our Vision

To see resilient young people who are confident in their beliefs and identity, able to build meaningful friendships with people who are different to them, comfortable to discuss faith and challenging issues and committed to living well and working together for the good of society.

Our Mission

We work in some of the most deprived urban areas of the UK where young people face the highest challenges from segregation and isolation.Through carefully facilitated encounters, accredited training, and innovative dialogue tools, we create safe spaces where differences are celebrated and understanding flourishes.

A generation of young people equipped with the resilience, confidence and dialogue skills to navigate our diverse world and build bridges in their communities. We envision communities where young people don't just coexist, but actively build friendships across faith and cultural lines becoming more resilient to gangs and radicalisation, raising their aspirations, and improving their life chances as adults.

Our Impact

Each year we reach 3,000 young people through Youth Encounters and schools work, creating spaces where they can explore identity and faith without judgment. Since 2020, we've trained over 3,000 educators and faith leaders through our training hub equipping them with the skills to facilitate interfaith dialogue in their own communities.

Our award-winning work has been recognised nationally and now it matters more than ever. This year has seen unprecedented requests for our services. Young people are struggling with division, and schools and faith groups need our proven approach to dialogue and reconciliation. When tensions rise, The Feast creates spaces for understanding.

When you support The Feast, you're creating safe spaces for vulnerable young people in the 10% most deprived neighbourhoods in the country. You're helping them to build authentic friendships across religious and cultural lines, develop resilience against extremism and gain confidence in their own beliefs while respecting others. We increase engagement at school and in communities and improve young people's life chances as adults. Your gift reaches young people and gives them the tools to choose understanding over division. Join us at the table.
