University Chaplains

Are you going to college or university this year, or do 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, network them with other Quaker students or just be a friendly face. Or 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 CONTROL 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) or contact Carmel Keogh to find out who the student contacts are at institutions throughout Britain. Telephone 020 7663 1017 or email: carmelk@quaker.org.uk
