Running of the Group

Currently there is a committee of 5 persons who manage the activities and the accounts. We welcome ideas and practical support from all members.
The Chairperson and Committee are elected by the Members at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in June/July.

Meetings

We aim to hold 'monthly members' meetings and 'quarterly public meetings' to reach a wider audience - though visitors are always made welcome at all meetings.

Schools

We are keen to reach out to schools and can assist with interfaith activities or presentations to both primary & secondary schools.

Police Training

We are involved with both new Police Officers and Community Service Officers as part of their training in community matters.

Re-Naming

As at July 2010 Members agreed to re-name the group as The West Wiltshire Multi Faith Forum (WWMFF). Additionally the Committee are in the process of forming the WWMFF as a registered charity.
