The Near Neighbours programme supports grassroots groups which work with Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and Buddhist organisations.
Funding announced by the Department for Communities and Local Government will help the initiative extend its work in areas with large Jewish communities, including north-west London, Leeds and Bury, Lancashire.
Near Neighbours already runs projects alongside the Board of Deputies and Council of Christians and Jews.
Among the Board-CCJ efforts which have benefited since 2011 are a biblical Hebrew course in Redbridge, Essex; an interfaith initiative at a city farm in east London; last month’s Timebanking event encouraging people to share skills; and the Stamford Hill Jewish-Christian Forum.
