Introducing The Chaplains
The chaplains represent different Christian denominations and other world faiths. Some are full-time and some are part-time. They are all very willing to be contacted, to try to help out in any way they can.
The Christians work as a Local Ecumenical Partnership, supported by the Anglican, Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, Salvation Army and United Reformed Churches. There is a full-time chaplain (Anglican) who acts as team leader and coordinates the work of the other chaplains.
