Faith and spirituality

The chaplains are available for all NTU students and staff. They support the University in three main areas.

Personal support (pastoral)

  • Our pastoral support is available to anyone.
  • We offer support for anyone with a situation that might be worrying them – a decision you've made or need to make, general worries and anxiety, homesickness, loneliness, a relationship breakup, or a bereavement.
  • We can help you as, when and how you want. There are no time limits. We are there when and if you need us.
  • Please email us to arrange a convenient time for us to meet you.

Community

  • University is a time to meet new people and make friends, but that can be difficult. The Wellbeing room at Clifton Campus is a neutral space where you can find a caring generous community that welcomes everyone.
  • The chaplains also organise specific events to encourage and build community.
