Our People Preserving global dialogue through lifelong expertise.
Governance and Stewardship The IIC is governed by a Board of Trustees who act as the primary custodians of the organisation’s mission. Bringing together decades of experience in community relations, international law, and religious education, our trustees ensure that the IIC’s values and connections remain a resource for the interfaith world.
The organisation functions as a consultative network; while we no longer maintain a physical building, the expertise of the “Centre” continues through the individual leadership, advisory roles, and international consultancies held by our trustees and long-standing patrons within the global movement.
Charanjit Ajit Singh (Chair) Charanjit has been a leading figure in UK interfaith dialogue for over three decades. A former lecturer, principal, and educational inspector, she has been a pillar of the IIC since its inception. She initially co-chaired the Advisory Committee—a prestigious body of academics and practitioners—before transitioning to her current role as Chair. An internationally recognised speaker, she has presented papers at the Vatican and the World Council of Churches, and her book, The Wisdom of Sikhism, remains a highly regarded resource.
Millius Palayiwa (Treasurer) Millius brings a wealth of legal and diplomatic expertise to the IIC. A lawyer by training and a specialist in international relations, he has dedicated his career to peacebuilding and conflict resolution. Formerly the Director of the Fellowship of Reconciliation (UK), Millius provides the IIC with robust governance and a strategic perspective informed by his extensive work in international human rights and mediation.
