• Chaplaincy

Roehampton University is a diverse community of students and staff.  Within that diversity are people of different faith backgrounds and those with no faith, including agnostics, atheists and humanists.  The University acknowledges the contribution that all of them make to the enrichment of its community.  The University works with its Colleges and with a number of faith groups to provide pastoral support for all who seek it through Chaplaincy.

Regardless of college affiliation or faith perspective The Chaplaincy offers:

• quiet space
• a listening ear
• spiritual guidance and support
• a chance for reflection
• weekly worship
• theological education
• involvement in social justice issues
• prayer
• social events
• free Fairtrade tea and coffee
• inter- faith work
• … and most importantly comfy sofas!

Each of the four colleges are based upon a particular ethos; Digby Stuart – Roman Catholic, Southlands – Methodist, Whitelands – Anglican, and Froebel - founded according to the principles of the educationalist Friedrich Froebel.  The three colleges with church foundations have their own chapels and chaplains who work to build a sense of community in the university.

Roehampton also has two Muslim Prayer Rooms, a Multi-faith Prayer Room and an active Jewish Resource Centre.
