Ben Anderson, a volunteer who coordinated work on the website, said:
“The Newham Faiths Directory enables local people and visitors to the borough to search for information on faith groups in their area or by different faiths. We have also added a comprehensive online map linked to the database to help find all the groups and locations included in the Directory”.
