P.I.F
Portsmouth Interfaith Forum is a group comprised of a collection of representatives from the various faith groups within Portsmouth.  We currently have members from the Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist and Baha'i faiths.

What are the aims and objectives we hope to accomplish?

PIF was set up to increase public awareness regarding various faiths by bringing religious communities together in the hope that we can have an increased understanding of each other and can therefore work together to enhance, develop and enrich each other and consequently the city of Portsmouth.

How do we aim to achieve this?

We hope to achieve this through educating each other with regard to faith issues and supporting activities within the local communities, encouraging charitable activity and offering representation of various faith groups in the workings and local structures of Portsmouth to ensure equality and increased unity.
