Local government and religion. Eve Parker was appointed as Community Cohesion Lead for Trafford, and on 26 September, she launched the Trafford Faith Action Network. The Trafford Faith Action Network aims to create a space for the voices of faith communities in Trafford, Greater Manchester, to speak on critical community issues that relate directly to Trafford’s new Corporate plan, that prioritises: the best start for children and young people; healthy and independent lives for everyone; a thriving economy and homes for all; addressing the climate crisis, and culture, sport, and heritage for everyone. During the launch event attendees had the opportunity to hear from faith leaders representing Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Sikh and Hindu communities in Trafford. Religious leaders spoke on the importance of community cohesion, interfaith relations, education, poverty, support for the most marginalised communities in Trafford, and working together to address ongoing needs in the borough.
