Chaplaincy is a recognised profession that provides a compassionate, safe and confidential service. Chaplaincy can bring faith, hope, care, support and guidance in everyday life, enabling people to move forward through the challenges they face.

As the old saying goes, a problem shared is a problem halved. Often, by talking through a circumstance, whether it’s a family problem, a work stress issue or just day-to-day anxieties, you can get clarity on your situation. Chaplains listen and help to share the load of life.

We are committed to providing a safe, respectful and confidential space where you can speak openly and be heard. Everything you share with us will be treated in confidence. However, there are a small number of situations where we may not be able to keep information confidential. This would only happen if we believe there is a risk of serious harm to you or others, or where we are required to do so by law. In these cases, we would always aim to handle this with care and transparency. If you have any questions about confidentiality or how your information is handled, please feel free to contact us through our website contact form.(/contact)

We offer a suite of services that can proactively help you and your workforce with well-being initiatives. From a calendar of events to a chaplain being available on-site offering 1:1 sessions and other support opportunities. A bespoke service can be agreed to meet your organisation’s specific requirements. See our Workplace Chaplaincy (/blank-3)page for more information.

You may wish to attend one of our connection points or you can find one of our street chaplains who will be able to help you, out and about in the city centre during the day.  You can find out more about our chaplains on the About Us (/about)page, to help you choose who you connect with. You can also request a one-to-one appointment with us by booking an appointment online.(https://oncehub.com/richandlois)

Regardless of your faith or belief system, we are still here to listen. If you would rather speak to someone who shares your views, then let us know and we can connect you with a chaplain from your religion.

Firstly, we aim to show compassion to all those who connect with a chaplain. In your 1:1, we will chat with you about whatever is on your mind, and the meeting will last approximately 45 minutes. Don’t worry, the coffee is on us!

We offer many aspects of our services free of charge to individuals. This is all thanks to donations. If you would like to donate to the work of Bristol Chaplaincy, please do so here.(https://pay.sumup.com/b2c/QQ6BTTST) We would love to provide our services free of charge to everyone if possible.

If you have any specific prayer requests, then please email them to info@bristolchaplaincy.co.uk.(mailto:info@bristolchaplaincy.co.uk) We will pray for you and would love to keep in touch and hear good news stories of prayers being answered.
