Independent Commission on Community and Cohesion

The Independent Commission on Community and Cohesion is a body co-chaired by former Conservative chancellor Sajid Javid and former Labour party policy chief Jon Cruddas. It has recently launched a 'National Conversation' project, urging the public to share their visions of community and what it means to be British. This initiative is particularly timely as concerns grow that the country risks being 'torn apart by our differences'. The project aims to foster understanding and connection by exploring shared values and experiences, drawing on early contributions to this national dialogue. The Commission's work is relevant now as it seeks to address societal divisions and strengthen the bonds of community across the United Kingdom.
