Further to the post on Muslim Birmingham about Islamophonic’s Riazat Butt’s visit to Nottingham and Birmingham to investigate the Government’s £86 million Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE) programme, tonight marks the launch of Birmingham City Council’s evaluation of the Pathfinder Phase of the project (undertaken, I believe, by Waterhouse Consulting Group).

Hosted by Councillor Alan Rudge (Cabinet Member for Equalities & Human Resources) the event starts at 7:00pm at the Burlington Hotel, New Street, Birmingham. Alleged to be ‘celebrating’ the completion of the Pathfinder phase, the event will also provide details about the new three year programme that was recently agreed.
