Interfaith Scotland is the national interfaith organisation for Scotland.
We work to help ensure good relations between Scotland’s diverse religion and belief communities.
We also share good practice in interfaith dialogue, education, engagement and training nationally and internationally.
We were honoured to win Charity of the Year at the Scottish Charity Awards in June 2025.
We are proud to be part of a movement striving for peace and building a more welcoming and inclusive Scotland for all.

Short Film: Celebrating Twenty Years of Scottish Interfaith Week
We celebrated twenty years of Scottish Interfaith Week in November 2024 and produced a film to honour the anniversary.
“Since its inception, we have engaged thousands of people in celebrating the rich religious and and cultural diversity of Scotland, through dialogue and so many creative activities such as music, dance, exhibitions, storytelling, poetry, ceilidhs, and family fun days. Basically celebrating the joy of being together and connecting.” – Dr Maureen Sier, Director of Interfaith Scotland

An Iftar celebration was held with the Muslim community in Hamilton on 22nd January. The event was planned by their young people from their HEYA group - Hamilton Islamic Youth Academicals. There were speeches by Naeem Ahmad, Board member of Interfaith Scotland, Zara Mohammed, who served as the youngest ever Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain from 2021 until January and our Interim Director, Frances Hume. The event culminated in fundraising for children to buy prosthetic limbs for those who have lost limbs in conflict.
It was lovely to attend two Iftar dinners over the weekend. Iftar is the meal that is taken to break the fast during the month of Ramadan when Muslims who are able refrain from all food and drink during daylight hours. The first was with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Glasgow. This was combined with a ceremony celebrating the 40th anniversary of their Beacon of Peace project that has been supporting 700 projects with 7000 volunteers. Multiple Scottish charities were presented with cheques.
