Ostro Fayre Share Foundation
The Ostro Fayre Share Foundation (charity no. 1090985), previously the Faye Share Foundation, was established on 7 March 2002.[1] A summary of the organisations activities states 'The Ostro Fayre Share Foundation seeks to promote interfaith, collaboration and connectivity between different communities; to encourage good citizenship and advance entrepreneurialism as a force for good. The Foundation supports faith based charitable purposes and is engaged in promoting the relief of poverty and women's economic empowerment in Burma.'[2]

Collaboration House
Collaboration House is situated at 77-79 Charlotte Street, London, W1T 4PW. Set up to facilitate an exchange of ideas and collaborations between different faith groups and charities, it 'had an experimental period from 2014-17 focussing on learning what activities and facilities would enhance collaboration for a curated group of charities working in similar areas. Another area of interest was to see if the concept of co-location of these organisations would further enhance the relationships not only between faiths, but also with the wider community.'[3]

Strengthening Faith Institutions
Since 2016 the Ostro Fayre Share Foundation has been partnered with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) in rolling out a nationwide initiative called Strengthening Faith Institutions (SFI), which provides training to over 800 religious institutions in England.[4]
In January 2021 SFI was awarded a grant worth £1.15 from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to help improve Covid-19 awareness and promote vaccine take-up among minority communities.[5]
