Two faith charities will be partnering with local councils to help correct misinformation about the Covid-19 vaccine in the communities they serve.
The UK Government announced on Monday that Near Neighbours will receive £1 million and Strengthening Faith Institutions will be awarded £1.15 million.
It’s part of a wider government scheme called “Community Champions” which will make £23 million available to councils in England to help dispel myths about Covid-19 and about the coronavirus vaccine, and boost take-up of the jab.
