While assumptions on secularisation have many of us believe that religion lost its relevance in the modern Western European context, daily practices in superdiverse cities show differently. Especially for people in societal vulnerable positions, religiously inspired solidarity initiatives sometimes prove to be more accessible and their solidarity more unconditional than solidarity initiatives provided by the welfare state. In the Soligion research project, we study religiously inspired solidarity initiatives in five Flemish cities and Brussels, and examine their position in the Belgian welfare regime. This article provides insight into our main motivations for conducting this research, the central research questions, the methods used in the project and the aspired output of the project. We aim to stimulate a complementary collaboration between religiously inspired solidarity initiatives, public organisations and (local) governments, both by researching their current interactions and by creating tools for public organisations and (local) governments to better understand and collaborate with religiously inspired solidarity initiatives.
