About The Feast

The Feast is a Christian charity based in Birmingham in the UK, working to promote Community Cohesion between Christian and Muslim young people.

Young people today are growing up in a country surrounded by different faiths yet often lead separate lives. As a result Christian and Muslim young people can experience barriers of ignorance, fear and mistrust in their communities, which sometimes even progresses to hostility or conflict. The Feast is empowering young people to spearhead social change.

The Feast is all about…

Exploring faith: young people are encouraged and equipped to discuss their faith in ways which draw out both the similarities and differences between them.
Creating friendships: by bringing together young people in a positive and fun environment we provide the opportunities for them to get to know one another, work on projects together and build ongoing friendship built on trust and respect.
Changing lives: having been to events run by The Feast the young people are challenged and enabled to live out the lessons they have learnt in their everyday lives amongst their friends, family and the wider community.

Our Vision:

To see Christian and Muslim young people coming together to form real friendships that move them to be peace-makers amongst their peers and in the world.

Our Values:

The Christian Principles to which we ascribe include

A belief that all people are made by God and are equally valuable.
Therefore we have a duty to befriend, serve and care for those we meet regardless race, faith or gender.
A commitment to Jesus’ teaching that we should love our neighbours as ourselves whoever they might be.
In the Bible we read that Jesus promises God’s blessing for those who are peacemakers, consequently we have a concern for the peace and wellbeing of the community of which we are a part and to equip others to be peacemakers.

Our Ethos:

When people of different beliefs get together the environment should be welcoming, inclusive, stimulating, relaxing and fun.
People need a safe place to discuss the similarities and differences between their faiths in an atmosphere of honest friendship.
We recognise our dependence on God for all our needs.
