Below is a short video introduction from Warren Evans, CEO of Sports Chaplaincy UK.

Submit an Expression of Interest
Thank you for your interest in becoming a sports chaplain. Opportunities for chaplaincy vary across the UK and in some areas are very limited both in elite/professional sport and at grass roots level.
However, if you would like to enquire about the possibilities in your area please send an email to admin@sportschaplaincy.org.uk and include your location, church community you are part of and sport in which you are hoping to serve. We will then send your interest on to the appropriate National Director who will then be in touch.
Thanks for your patience and interest.
Other Volunteering Opportunities

We want to see the 30 million men, women and children engaged in the community of sport to be cared for within a community they love, from a person that they trust. Chaplains invest their time and energy into providing pastoral care.
