The Chaplain's Office is in room D26 and students are free to call to the Chaplain's office at any time and the Chaplain is available to students of all denominations and none.

Illness and Bereavement

With the expansion of the University it is possible that some things might go unnoticed. Should you be aware of a student illness, accident or bereavement, we would be grateful if you would let us know immediately.

Student Volunteers

Pastoral Care works closely with other agencies on numerous issues particularly awareness raising and connecting to a wider world. We invite students to assist with fund raising and community projects etc.

Overseas Volunteer Work

The Chaplain's office has some information on volunteer work overseas which students may wish to access.

During the year, various volunteer agencies may visit the University, set up a stand and provide information concerning development and justice in developing countries. We will keep you informed.

Urgent Needs Fund

Some students find themselves in financial difficulty at times during the academic year. The Urgent Needs Fund committee administers a small fund which is geared to make a quick and supportive response and is primarily designed for unanticipated emergencies only. All enquiries to the Chaplain at [email protected] .

Students who find themselves in more severe financial difficulty for whatever reason should contact the Student Life and Learning office who administer a Student Assistance Fund.
