Pastoral care

Help and guidance

Members of the Multifaith Chaplaincy team offer pastoral care to staff and students. We are glad to walk alongside you in your journey through life. Whether you are struggling, celebrating or just want to pass the time of day, our aim is to listen more than to talk.

You do not have to come to one of the Multifaith Chaplaincy spaces to meet with us. If you arrange an appointment, we can talk about where you would most like to meet, and we offer video or telephone calls for those who need or prefer them.

If you would like to talk in confidence to one of the chaplains:

email us chaplaincy@brookes.ac.uk
call us +44 (0)1865 484690.

Students

For students, we offer a safe place to talk things through that is outside the academic structures. We will always lend an ear, or talk about what faith means to you. We can also advise you about other people who may be of help.

To speak in confidence to a member of the team, email chaplaincy@brookes.ac.uk.
