Quality Assurance Framework for Faith Based Organisations

Community Matters is working with the Faith based Regeneration Network, the Church Urban Fund and the Faith and Civil Society Unit of Goldsmith's to develop a quality assurance framework for faith based organisations. This will build on the Charity Commission-endorsed VISIBLE Accredited Standards.

The programme will research, develop, pilot and disseminate effective methods of enabling faith-based organisations to demonstrate their capacity as competent and effective deliverers and partners in the fields of community development, community cohesion, regeneration and social action, without compromising their own core purpose and values. It will also demonstrate their ability to engage as sound partners in policy forums such as Local Strategic Partnerships.

As part of the process, we will be piloting the quality assurance framework with six faith based organisations. If you would like to be considered as a pilot project please click here for more information and an application form. Contact Jane Winter at janewinter@fbrn.org.uk or call 07734 962140. Completed forms must be submitted by1st April 2010.
