You don't need to be involved in a faith community or church to use our services.
Our chaplains are from different faith backgrounds and can help you with:
- mentoring and friendly support
- pastoral counselling for spiritual, religious and personal issues
- study groups or workshops on scripture, faith and personal growth
- maintaining social connections and wellbeing.
They also hold worship services.
