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.
Statement of Solidarity
The Scottish Government’s Faith and Belief Representatives’ Group statement of solidarity with racially minoritised communities following recent incidents.
The Scottish Government’s Faith and Belief Representatives’ Group expresses deep concern over the recent targeting of racially minoritised communities.
While Scotland is widely celebrated as a welcoming, multicultural nation that embraces diversity, it is not immune from the divisive rhetoric taking hold across parts of the UK—a narrative that can lead individuals to violence.
