About St Philip’s Centre

Helping people of all faiths – and none – to live well together.

Based in Leicester, St Philip’s Centre works to promote positive interfaith relations.

We believe that even in today’s divided world, we can learn to live well together. Our clients meet people from different faiths and cultures, building understanding, respect, trust and co-operation. We work with people of all faiths and beliefs to provide a safe space where difficult and complex issues can be discussed.

The Centre also has a real and continuing commitment to help facilitate the search for solutions when community threats and tensions emerge.
