Charities are set to work with faith leaders and businesses to build a new grassroots campaign

A new campaign is set to be launched to help bring communities back together and heal divides over Brexit.

Charities, faith leaders and business executives are set to work together in a bid to create a grassroots campaign which aims to unite communities.

Politicians are being kept away from the initial planning for the campaign, in a bid to keep the project politically neutral.

The group includes the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, TUC head Francis O’Grady and Carolyn Fairbairn, the boss of the CBI – with talks having taken place in London last week.

The nationwide campaign is anticipated to launch at the start of next year.

It is likely to include high-profile celebrities alongside grassroots community organisations.
