Objectives and activities

Our mission statement is "To promote understanding through personal experience"

We exist to promote understanding between different communities by celebrating and raising awareness of their faith and cultural heritage. As part of our activities we work closely with many different communities, faith organisations and places of worship as well as representatives of secular organisations; however the Open Centre is not a religiously based organisation and has no affiliation to any specific faith based groups.

We work towards the elimination of racist or discriminatory behaviours towards members of the community on grounds of colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national origins and to promote equality of opportunity and good relations between persons of different racial groups.

Objectives carried out through activities such as; facilitating faith trails to places of worship with children, young people and adults, visits/assemblies to places of education, faith days, workshops in schools and the wider community and the deployment of mobile exhibitions.

Achievements and performance

A year of consolidation with the first full year post-COVID. The income has returned to previous levels and we continue to look for opportunities to develop the charity's reach into the community. The trustees have developed an improvement plan that will help reaffirm our clear focus and ensure that we are financially robust for the future and have the right staff in place to provide our service.
