Welcome to the Interfaith Contact Group of Brighton and Hove (IFCG). We create opportunities and safe spaces for people of different faiths and none to meet and talk. Most of our members and friends belong to faith groups but many don’t. We organise regular events like our Friendship Hour and gatherings and vigils in answer to current and community needs. We have served as Chaplain to the Mayor on a number of occasions and been around for 26 years. Take a look at our History. We warmly invite you to become a Member or a Friend.
Meditation, Mindfulness and Compassion Explored
Meditation is an important way to connect with calm, peace and also one’s deepest faith and feelings. On July 4th the IFCG joins with the Sussex Mindfulness Centre for a Symposium entitled Mindfulness, Heartfulness and Compassion. This outstanding one day event will explore meditation and compassion practices from many different faith groups. It will be held at The Friends Meeting House in Ship Street from 9am to 5pm. It promises to a truly inspirational day.

Prayer Meetings & Vigils
Interfaith prayers are powerful and inspirational — they are shared prayers. The IFCG holds prayers and vigils on a regular basis, and also provides information about vigils held by other groups in our City. On May 1st, 2025 the IFCG held a vigil at the Peace Statue at 6.30pm. The vigil, which included a walking meditation will be repeated in the future, either at the Peace Statue, or at other locations.
