6. Chaplaincy to who? To those of all faiths and no faith
“For God does not show favouritism,” Rom 2:11
We offer pastoral and spiritual support to everyone, people of faith and people of no faith.  This generally involves visiting the clubs offices and training facilities on a weekly basis and being available to listen and bring support to all staff - from the CEO to the grounds-man, the kit-man to the doctor, the players to the coach and everyone else in between.
At times this can look and feel like we are loitering but this is a very important aspect of our role, by being visible and available we are able to build relationships. When times of crisis arise and they do, chaplains are a trusted port of call and are an important part of staff and player welfare.
