In a divided world, St. Philip's Centre helps communities learn how to live well together.

For more than a decade, St. Philip’s Centre has brought people together, challenged assumptions and educated through exciting, informative and interactive work.

Our work within the Christian community and across wider society enables communities and individuals to encounter one another in meaningful ways to build understanding and trust.

We nurture respectful, resilient individuals and communities, and support leadership in faith  communities to enrich public life. We aim to empower people of all faiths – and those with no faith – to co-operate with each other for the good of all.

Since our foundation, St Philip’s Centre in Leicester has led efforts to ensure religion and belief are harnessed for the good of all. Our work in countering violent extremism has won international praise. Our programmes for schools are consistently overbooked and our track record in delivering high-quality training to church groups, public sector organisations and across the third sector is second to none.

Our effective programmes for schools, businesses, the public sector and churches have helped thousands of people – from school children to the Armed Forces and Police.

St. Philip's Centre focuses on eight areas:
