WMM is ecumenically funded and supports around 40 workplace-based chaplains, split roughly 50:50 between retail chaplaincies and company chaplaincies (e.g. Birmingham Airport, National Express, West Midlands Fire Service).
What is the aim of this event?
- Raising the profile of Chaplaincy and the front-line support it offers to employees facing various life issues.
- Encouraging others to do a ‘taster session’ to see if it is for them and then hopefully encouraging more people to be trained as Chaplains in the workplace
- Encouraging businesses to consider using a Chaplain as part of their pastoral care offering – there are bound to be business decision-makers within the congregations of most churches
- Giving existing Chaplains more support within their church community
