About Temple Quay Chaplaincy
Located in the heart of Temple Quay, Bristol Chaplaincy is available to support both individuals and businesses.
Throughout the week, our chaplains are available to listen to you and help you take positive steps forward.
Whether you wear a business suit or jeans, we take the time to talk to you as an individual and hear your unique situation.
We aim to listen, to help you find hope, and even provide a solution to the challenge, issue or change that you might be facing.
We are all human - it’s natural to sometimes feel the weight of life. It’s also natural to want to talk to someone. So, chaplaincy provides a safe environment and a compassionate ear where you can discuss anything. Whatever life brings, whether in work or personal life, we want to support and help you move forward.
Temple Quay Chaplaincy Hub
From time to time, we all need somewhere to go and escape the busyness of our day.
We are located on the prayer barge which provides the perfect space for you to spend a few quiet moments to gather your thoughts.
The barge is open every Tuesday between 11am and 2pm for you to 'drop in' and speak with one of our chaplains. No need to book; just turn up and come on board.

Chaplaincy Stories
There is so much that goes on in the city centre to support the homeless but there isn’t anybody joining up all the services. Is this something a chaplaincy service could do?
Passerby from Temple Quay
Enormous thank you for your time and listening ears last week. It was a true gift.
'Listening Appointment' Client
Last year, I had some challenges in my life and I had nobody to talk to and nowhere to go for help and support. A chaplaincy service, like Bristol Chaplaincy, would have been really helpful.

Common Questions
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 want to safeguard you and others, and we offer a 100% confidential service. There are specific legal requirements where we will not be able to keep confidentiality in a few very limited cases. Please feel free to ask for more information.
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 Business Partnerships 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 page, to help you choose who you connect with. You can also request a one-to-one appointment with us on our listening services page.
Regardless of your faith or belief system, we are still here to listen. If you would rather speak to someone who share’s 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!
There are many aspects of our service we offer free of charge to individuals. Please contact us if you would like to find out more or if you would like to donate to Bristol Chaplaincy so that we can continue to help others.
If you have any specific prayer requests, then please email them to 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.
