Neighbourhood Chaplains

Neighbourhood Chaplains aims to equip and encourage a church team to reach out to people in their local communities.

Through training and scheme membership,
local churches are equipped to:

  • Make contact with new people in the community

  • Deepen community links opening opportunities for the Gospel

  • Offer practical support and help to those in need
