Faith chiefs, think tank bosses and British Olympic Association chairman Sir Hugh Robertson have also added their names.
The letter says: “As we start this new year and new decade, our country feels more fragmented than any of us would like.
“Too often we hear that our divisions – by class or geography, by politics, age, race or by faith – have come to define us.
“If we are not happy with the state of our society, it falls to us all to do something about it.
“New Year is the time for resolutions and on this first day of the 2020s, we urge others to join us in making a resolution for the new decade.
“Our resolution is to reconnect.
“To reach out to just one person we don’t know, or from whom we have drifted apart.
“To start rebuilding connections between neighbours and fellow citizens.
“While our politics and media have become more polarised we, as people, have not.”
Britain is still to recover from the rancour unleashed in the run-up to the landmark referendum.
Just a week before polling day, Labour MP Jo Cox was murdered in her West Yorkshire constituency by a far-right extremist shouting: “Britain first!”
Experts have blamed the Brexit debate for driving a rise in hate offences ever since.

In his traditional New Year message, the Church of England's most senior minister, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, also pleads for chasms to be overcome and the UK to "start healing divisions".
Archbishop Justin says he has been inspired by the "heroism and hope" of RNLI volunteers at Dover lifeboat station.
In his message, broadcast on BBC1 at 1pm today, he says: "As we wonder how we are going to start healing some of the divisions that we've seen over recent years, the sort of people at this lifeboat station are signs of hope.

thedailymirror--2020-01-31--Keir Starmer says he would 'bring back' EU freedom of movement as Prime Minister

Keir Starmer has signalled he will bring back UK-EU freedom of movement if he becomes Prime Minister .
In a major pledge today , the leadership candidate said Labour must “ make the case ” for migration ’ s benefits and free movement - despite Brexit axing it .
In a Brexit Day speech at Westminster Cathedral , Sir Keir said : ” I want families to be able to live together , whether that 's in Europe or here .
“ And I want people in this country , in the United Kingdom , to be able to go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can now and people in Europe to be able to come and study here .
`` We have to make the case for freedom of movement . ''
He added : “ We need to give our EU citizens rights , not tolerance .
And that starts with the right to vote . ''
If Sir Keir becomes PM in 2024 free movement will already have been removed for EU visitors to the UK - and the other way round .
Boris Johnson is replacing it with a “ points-based ” immigration system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to negotiate to bring it back .
Asked directly if he would “ bring back ” free movement for EU citizens as PM , he told the Mirror : “ Yes of course - bring back , argue for , challenge.
” We had asked him : “ If you become Labour Prime Minister , will you bring back freedom of movement of EU citizens to the UK ?
” After giving his answer Sir Keir added that Labour had to challenge policies from the government .
“ We ’ ve got to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in opposition , '' he said .
“ My first year as an MP , 2015 to 2016 , I voted 172 times and lost 171 .
That ’ s opposition.
” Sir Keir said his mother-in-law had been in intensive care for a week now after a terrible accident - being cared for by people of all nationalities .
“ We welcome migrants , we don ’ t scapegoat them , ” he said - adding problems with wages and housing were “ political failure ” .
And he urged politicians and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” that liberated the Nazi death camps in 1945 .
“ We ’ ve got to have the courage to make the right arguments about our values , ” he said .
It comes after he unveiled a new policy to let EU citizens in the UK vote in general elections , from which they ’ re currently barred .
He did not rule out extending the same right to other UK residents from elsewhere in the world .
The frontrunner spoke with no notes , no podium and a crowd of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ focus on being a good opposition in Parliament .
He said it was “ fitting ” to be back in the shadow of Parliament , where he shadowed three Brexit Secretaries and fought and lost two general elections .
Sir Keir said “ it feels like 30 years of change has been shoved into 30 months ” - years in which David Cameron “ ran off to a shed ” and Theresa May , despite her sense of public duty , “ couldn ’ t reach out , couldn ’ t find a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ the worst of the lot .
A man without any real principle or anger who will go anywhere to stay in power .
“ We have to be an effective opposition to him right here right now.
” He said Labour can not “ give up on the argument ” about security over Brexit .
But he also said Labour must help “ bring the country back together.
” He acknowledged many , including EU citizens , would be “ anxious and uncertain ” but said : “ We need to let @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And that includes for the Labour Party .
“ For 40 years the Tories have been arguing about Europe .
It has divided them .
We will not let them pass the ball to us so we are divided on this for years to come.
” Despite his comments Sir Keir offered no regrets for his push towards Remain and a second referendum last year .
The MP said there were many reasons Labour suffered its worst election defeat since 1935 , but Brexit was only one of them .
He added @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Brexit divide .
It ’ s gone deep .
We ’ ve now got to win the peace .
We ’ ve got to win what comes next.
” He said if Labour loses in 2024 it will have been out of power for longest period since the Second World War .
“ A whole generation will not have had a Labour government .
That ’ s the price of losing ” , he said .

The Labour leadership contender said he would 'of course bring back, argue for, challenge' as he made a passionate plea for EU citizens to live and work in the UK - and vice versa

In a Brexit Day speech at Westminster Cathedral Hall, Sir Keir said: ”I want families to be able to live together, whether that's in Europe or here.

Sir Keir said his mother-in-law had been in intensive care for a week now after a terrible accident - being cared for by people of all nationalities.
“We welcome migrants, we don’t scapegoat them,” he said - adding problems with wages and housing were “political failure”.
And he urged politicians and activists to “summon that same spirit” that liberated the Nazi death camps in 1945.
“We’ve got to have the courage to make the right arguments about our values,” he said.

Sir Keir said “it feels like 30 years of change has been shoved into 30 months” - years in which David Cameron “ran off to a shed” and Theresa May, despite her sense of public duty, “couldn’t reach out, couldn’t find a consensus.”

The former Sporting Lisbon ace is in line to make his United debut against Wolves this weekend.
Fernandes is not the first Portugal international to move to the Red Devils, with wingers Ronaldo and Nani both famed for their stints at the club.
And Berbatov, who played alongside Ronaldo and Nani at United, reckons Fernandes has all the tools to follow his compatriots to the stardom.
Berbatov told Betfair: "He is following in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani and I hope he makes the same impact that both those players did.

"I mean what can you say about Ronaldo that hasn't been already said? When I share the changing room with him he was always a great professional, he had a great work ethic and he was a great lad as well.
"He could take a joke and give it back. At first it was a bit difficult for Nani because he was playing in a similar position to Cristiano, but he held his own when he needed to.
"I heard rumours that Barcelona were also interested in signing him, and if that was the case he has shown that he prefers United so he must have seen something he liked.
"He's going to play but he is a big money signing and now he needs to justify to the club why he is worth so much.
"He doesn't need to think about the price and as a midfield player I don't think he needs to focus on scoring goals, his purpose is to control games, get assists and help his team mates and the most important thing is to get into the rhythm of the Premier League."

"It shows intent from United and I hope they buy someone else.
"He is joining up with a young, great team, and the players that are there will see that effort is being made to improve the quality of the side, and I'm sure they will want to up their game and impress, especially the midfield players because they have competition now and I'm sure they will be telling themselves that they need to put more effort in during training and matches.
