University Chaplains
Quaker college and university chaplains work in a wide variety of FE and HE colleges and universities around the country. They offer pastoral support and provide a visible Quaker presence within the organisation.
They also serve as a point of contact and support for Young Friends going away to college or university. If you are a Young Friend going to college or if you know someone who is, we can put students in touch with the Quaker student contact in their area. Student contacts can introduce young Friends to the local meeting, help them meet with other Quaker students or just be a friendly face. If you're a student who's just heard about Quakerism and would like to know more, contact the Quaker student welcomer for your university on the list below - you can use Ctrl+F to find your college contact more quickly.
Students are advised to make the initial contact with the Quaker student contacts.
Check the list below (arranged alphabetically by town or county) to find out who the student contacts are at institutions throughout Britain. Telephone 020 7663 1017 or email: outreach@quaker.org.uk for further information.
