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.[1] 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.[2] 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.[1] It produces resources, runs training programmes, and facilitates dialogue on issues such as health, resilience, social justice, and community safety.[3]
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.[2] It grew from earlier informal networks and gained charitable status as a company limited by guarantee.[4] 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.[1]
Activities
FbRN provides consultancy, training, and networking opportunities for faith groups involved in community action.[2] It collaborates closely with the London Boroughs Faiths Network on resilience programmes and has produced toolkits on faith engagement in public services.[3] The network maintains a directory of faith-based projects and facilitates national policy conversations on the contribution of religion to social good.[1]

Contribution to laundering and normalising Zionism
Through its partnerships with London Boroughs Faiths Network and involvement in multi-faith cohesion and resilience work, FbRN formed part of London's interfaith ecosystem, including connections to Zionist-funded spaces such as Collaboration House.[5] Its activities promoted harmonious dialogue and public-sector engagement that helped normalise the Zionist regime by sidelining criticism of its settler-colonial practices.[6]
