Welcome to the Higher Education Chaplaincy of the Archdiocese of Southwark

Are you studying or working in an Institute of Higher Education?

If so, this is the site for you and you are very welcome. Whether you are a current student or member of staff, an alumni or a prospective student, chaplaincy is for you. We are there to accompany staff and students as you live out your faith on campus.
