Chaplaincy Volunteer Visitors

Chaplancy Volunteer Visitors

The chaplaincy service is delivered by the chaplaincy team with the valuable assistance of 100 volunteers coming from a variety of faiths (and no religious faith), including Baha'i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh, working closely with the chaplaincy team by referring patients to specific chaplains as and when required. Their tasks include: 

  • Bed to bed ward visiting
  • Accident and emergency visitors team
  • Radiology visitors team
  • Bringing patients to Sunday services using wheelchairs
  • Assisting with Muslim prayers (Jumma Salah) on a Friday

This is a very good example of people from different faith backgrounds (and no religious faith) working together towards a common goal.

The work of chaplaincy couldn’t be as successful as it is without the major contribution made by our volunteers.

Our volunteers visit patients regardless of their beliefs in order to give them time, unconditional acceptance and a listening ear.
