The Queen is to celebrate the work of UK faith and belief groups in bringing local communities together during a reception at Buckingham Palace.
Representatives of different faiths and beliefs are among those invited to the event on Tuesday, including volunteers, community workers and people promoting social cohesion in their area.
The reception will recognise figures who have brought about positive change in their local neighbourhoods and celebrate work being done to support people of all ages and backgrounds.
This includes supporting young people to make positive life choices, bringing people together through cooking, providing food and clothing to the homeless, and supporting refugees and asylum seekers.
The Queen, as head of the nation and the Commonwealth, recognises and celebrates religious diversity in the UK.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
