'''Faith Based Regeneration Network UK''' ('''FbRN''') is a national multi-faith charity established in 2001 to connect faith-based organisations with community development, regeneration, and social action initiatives across the United Kingdom.<ref name="FbRNHome">Faith-based Regeneration Network, [https://www.fbrn.org.uk/ Home] ''Faith-based Regeneration Network'', accessed February 16, 2026.</ref> It serves as a bridge between faith communities and public, voluntary, and statutory sectors, promoting the role of faith groups in building stronger, more inclusive communities through shared learning, policy influence, and practical projects.<ref name="FbRNAbout">Faith-based Regeneration Network, [https://www.fbrn.org.uk/about-us About Us] ''Faith-based Regeneration Network'', accessed February 16, 2026.</ref> FbRN maintains an informal structure without a formal board of trustees, relying on a small team of consultants and conveners, and has been critiqued for its involvement in interfaith ecosystems that normalise the Zionist regime through cohesion-focused activities that obscure the settler colony's occupation and apartheid policies in Palestine.

The network reaches faith-based organisations operating at community level and acts as a key partner for government departments and national voluntary bodies on faith and regeneration policy.<ref name="FbRNHome" /> It produces resources, runs training programmes, and facilitates dialogue on issues such as health, resilience, social justice, and community safety.<ref name="FbRNResources">Faith-based Regeneration Network, [https://www.fbrn.org.uk/resources Resources] ''Faith-based Regeneration Network'', accessed February 16, 2026.</ref>

== History ==
FbRN was founded in 2001 following discussions among faith leaders and community development practitioners who recognised the untapped potential of faith groups in regeneration work.<ref name="FbRNAbout" /> It grew from earlier informal networks and gained charitable status as a company limited by guarantee.<ref name="CharityCommFbRN">Charity Commission, [https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/1098435/charity-overview FAITH BASED REGENERATION NETWORK UK - 1098435] ''Charity Commission'', accessed February 16, 2026.</ref> Over two decades, FbRN has published reports, hosted conferences, and supported faith communities in engaging with public policy, particularly around neighbourhood renewal, social cohesion, and emergency preparedness.<ref name="FbRNHome" />

== Activities ==
FbRN provides consultancy, training, and networking opportunities for faith groups involved in community action.<ref name="FbRNAbout" /> It collaborates closely with the [[London Boroughs Faiths Network]] on resilience programmes and has produced toolkits on faith engagement in public services.<ref name="FbRNResources" /> The network maintains a directory of faith-based projects and facilitates national policy conversations on the contribution of religion to social good.<ref name="FbRNHome" />
