At the heart of “Lighting the Way for a Shared Future” is the belief that everyone should feel they belong.

Inter Faith Week brings people together. By making space for one another, communities can become more connected and more confident in their diversity.

Together, we can help light the way!

The Festival of the Hungry Ghosts is a Buddhist and Daoist festival celebrated in China, Taiwan and their diasporas throughout the 'ghost month', with festivities at their height today. During the festival, the gates to the afterlife are opened so ghosts and ancestral spirits may visit the living. Rituals are performed to provide food and comfort to 'hungry' spirits, particularly those without a proper resting place or descendants to honour them. Communities hold parades of decorated lanterns - often in the shapes of boats or houses - to help guide the spirits on their way.

Image Description: Text reads 'The Festival of the Hungry Ghosts. August 27th 2026.' A cartoon graphic shows a red bowl holding smoking incense sticks. The WIN logo is at the bottom of the image.

Hull Afro Caribbean Association (HACA) are inviting communities across Hull to come together for a Slavery Remembrance Day Commemoration this Saturday 22 August 2026, from 3pm to 5pm.
at the HACA Centre Gardens, 25–26 Park Street, Hull, HU2 8RR.

The event is being organised by H.A.C.A. & Partners, with support from Hull City Council, and community organisations, partners, residents and anyone who would like to show their support are warmly invited to attend.

Slavery Remembrance Day provides an opportunity to remember all those affected by slavery, acknowledge the experiences and suffering of those affected by the transatlantic slave trade, reflect on its continuing legacy and also recognise the resilience, culture and contributions of Black communities and to consider how the lessons of history can inform the choices made today and the importance of building a fairer and more inclusive future.

Inter Faith Week creates opportunities for people to meet, listen and learn across faiths and beliefs. Those conversations help build trust within neighbourhoods, schools and workplaces, one connection at a time.

As we continue exploring this year’s theme, Lighting the Way for a Shared Future, we’re celebrating the conversations that bring communities closer together.
