Chaplains work as part of the staff team and are concerned with the spiritual wellbeing of everyone in Sobell House. We offer spiritual and pastoral care and support to patients, families, staff and volunteers whether or not they have a particular faith.

Patients in Sobell House sometimes have particular concerns or find that being here raises questions about deep things in life. Some people find it helpful to talk things over with someone in a supportive and confidential way. Chaplains are available to listen and to offer support and spiritual care in the way that is helpful to each person.

There is a chapel in Sobell House which welcomes people of every faith and none. It provides a quiet space where people can reflect and find refreshment and peace.

When requested, we are happy to liaise with representatives of different local faith communities in order to ensure that people have the support they need. Christian services are held in the chapel or a chaplain can pray with people or share communion with them on the ward.

Chaplains based in Sobell House work closely with the Trust Chaplaincy Team. The Trust Roman Catholic chaplain visits Roman Catholic patients in Sobell House and there is always a Roman Catholic priest and another team chaplain on call.
