Page text

Text and tables taken from the official page, with collapsed sections opened, so it can be read and searched here. Images and forms are not copied, so open the original page when you need to apply or submit something.

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.

How we can support you
