Team members are available for people to contact, chat and video chat, via Microsoft Teams. All members of the Team are available to staff and students for pastoral support or advice on an individual basis.
We hope you enjoy this little video - 'Chaplaincy Team - The Movie' as an introduction to the Team and what we do.
