Workplace Chaplaincy

The Workplace Chaplaincy is an important part of the work of the Nottingham City Centre Group of Churches (St Mary's, St Peter's and All Saints').

Helping humanise the workplace

• Work is a significant area of life - when we are at work is it hard to leave problems, stresses and big questions at home
• Experienced support - the Nottingham Chaplaincy to Commerce & Industry has over 15 years of experience of offering simple down-to-earth support to people at work
• Workplace visiting - working from St Peter's in the City Centre, the Chaplaincy Team visits workplaces regularly and is available to listen in confidence to your problems
• Available to all staff - this service is for people whatever their beliefs and circumstances and is definitely not about promoting any particular faith. We are working with Nottingham Inter-Faith Council in a number of major workplaces in the city.

Confidential and independent support

These are some typical issues we can help people with in their workplaces:

• bereavement
• health concerns
• relationship issues
• loneliness
• stress
• somebody to listen
• redundancy
• managing change
• work/life balance

You can contact us if you need someone who can offer you:

• experience
• time
• a listening ear
• an opportunity to bounce ideas off
• practical advice at times of change

We can also recommend professional counselling support if needed.
