what do we do?
The IRCCs serve as important bridges between religious, ethnic and community groups at the local level. Leaders from various religious, ethnic and other community organisations have come together to join the IRCC networks to build friendships and trust. The IRCCs also aim to deepen people's understanding of the various faiths, beliefs and practices through inter-faith and inter-ethnic themed activities such as inter-faith heritage trails, inter-faith talks and dialogues and various ethnic and religious celebrations. The IRCCs are also primed to respond quickly to incidents with racial and religious tensions and to project solidarity on the ground during crises.

what does the four Figures in the ircc logo represent?
The Inter-Racial and Religious Confidence Circles, better known as IRCCs, are local-level inter-faith platforms in every constituency, formed to promote racial and religious harmony. The work of the IRCCs is instrumental to strengthening our social cohesion and it supports the Community Engagement Programme (CEP).
The four figures in the logo represent different races and religions working together with understanding and tolerance. The colours red, green, orange and violet represent Trust, Respect, Harmony and Co-operation. The word IRCC is bold, highlighting the strength and confidence of the community.
