Chaplains provide

Pastoral care for all in the workplace

A response to need

Support, and the encouragement of good relations in the workplace

A Christian perspective on the effect of work on individuals and groups.

Chaplains are trained to extend their ministry to all the workplace. They respond to need wherever it exists, helping people individually or referring them to other agencies.

All the main Christian denominations in South Yorkshire (Anglican, Baptist, Methodist, Roman Catholic, Salvation Army, Society of Friends and United Reformed) are committed to the work of South Yorkshire Workplace Chaplaincy.

Working on behalf of the churches, South Yorkshire Workplace Chaplaincy seeks to establish links between churches and the working life of South Yorkshire.

Relating what is seen and heard to the gospel, South Yorkshire Workplace Chaplaincy is committed to sharing its understanding in the workplace and in churches.
