About UK HE CHAPLAINS TOGETHER

Established in 2025, we are working together to create a vibrant network where chaplains from different faith and belief backgrounds learn from one another, grow in cultural and spiritual competence, and advance best practices in chaplaincy and spiritual care in Higher Education Institutions. We seek to offer strong mutual support that encourages, sustains, and renews chaplains across our varied roles and contexts.
