As part of his visit in Doncaster, Lord Bourne also stopped by the Doncaster Minster, at the heart of the town, to hear about the work of the Greater Churches UK Network their efforts to widen impact beyond architectural interest.

The Belief in Communities tour consist of monthly flagship visits across the country to both explore and engage with volunteers and faith leaders on the role that faith plays in their communities and especially their work in bringing people of different faiths and backgrounds together.

Lord Bourne also visited The National Holocaust Centre and Museum in Newark today to meet with survivors and see the vibrant Memorial Gardens, a place of testimony learning for communities of all faiths, and none across the UK.
