Our Local Community

Telford & Wrekin Interfaith Council 

We commit ourselves in a spirit of friendship and co-operation to work together as people of faith for a just and inclusive community within Telford & Wrekin.

  • Helping to keep the 'Unity' in Community through building and maintaining conversation and co-operation between all Faith and Cultural Groups
  • This focus will allow us to work together to 'Serve', 'Support' 
  • and 'Care' for all within the Telford and Wrekin Borough and beyond.

In 2020, the TWIC also became one of the first Interfaith Organisations in the UK to sign up to the Peace Pledge, whose aim is to foster a true culture of peace throughout the World.

Shropshire European Organisation

Provides outreach services to Eastern European residents. Most of our cases are complex and involve work with multiple agencies to support individuals or families in rural areas. Our main role is to support individuals and/or families in need, explain life in the UK to new arrivals and support professionals to understand minority residents. We help with health, housing, education, and safety. As a part of our ongoing activity, we offer interpreting and translating services, this includes working closely with the police and the NHS. Understanding the culture of the Eastern European community helps us to provide an inclusive and unique service. For further information visit:-

The Dandelion Group

The Dandelion Group is formed from parents who have been through their own life experiences in and out of services and had ups and downs but are still here standing strong and wanting to help improve their community.

We have parent advocates, and we are a Parent Carer Panel for Family Hubs. We don't want our stories to be all that people see, we would like our experiences to help improve our services, after all we are only human.

The group has grown in strength and are actively

  • Supporting each other,
  • Sharing their personal experience,
  • Having the opportunity to be heard
  • Listening to other lived experience professionals 

By being given the opportunity to speak to our local services this has opened to door to co production and meetings with directors and executive leaders. We have engaged with a range of different services to help improve the information shared with parents that have children with additional needs. 

We meet every 4-6 weeks to feedback and coproduce with services and discuss other pieces of work we could be involved with over the coming weeks.

We are provided with training where required and offered opportunities to talk to teams to hear about what services are available for Parents and families.

Our time is compensated and we are supported and have inspired other projects across the country.
