The Community Development Foundation (CDF) has published its final evaluation report on the Faiths in Action programme, which presents positive solutions to achieving community integration.

Following a competitive bid process, the Community Development Foundation (CDF) has been chosen by the government to deliver the Community First programme.

Community First is an £80m government funded programme that will help communities come together through new and existing community groups, to identify their strengths and local priorities, plan for their future and become more resilient.  Community First includes a £30m small grant programme for some of the most deprived areas in the country and a national £50m endowment match challenge.
