Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer praised faith groups at a summit on Monday.

Ahead of this 12 months’s general elections, he’s asking civic and faith groups to partner with Labour in achieving its goals for national renewal.

He told the summit of civic and faith leaders on Monday that they’d “a singular and vital role on this country, constructing the relationships and the shared values that shape our national life”.

He went on to say that they were often the “glue” holding together different stakeholders locally and helping to give you solutions to different challenges.

He recalled the vital role of places of worship throughout the pandemic after they acted as vaccination centres, and the role they proceed to play as community hubs.

“This a chance for hope … to create a society of service,” said Starmer.

Shadow Cabinet Ministers Yvette Cooper, Wes Streeting, Bridget Phillipson and Thangam Debbonaire and Shadow Faith Minister Maeve Sherlock also attended the summit.
