Please Help Us! ( University of Southampton Chaplaincy Association)

Dear Friends,

Unless we act now, the Chaplaincy at Southampton University will be gone.

TheDiocese of Winchester has pushed through shocking cuts that willwithdraw the funding for the Chaplaincy. Without this funding, theecumenical Chaplaincy at Southampton will not be able to continue andwill cease entirely.

We believe this is wrong.

 

  • Students ??? some very vulnerable ??? will lose vital pastoral care.
  • They will lose a facility that strengthens faith and can save lives.
  • A great community ??? open to those of all faiths and none ??? will be homeless.


With no chaplain or chaplaincy, many students will have nowhere to turn to for support. We cannot let this happen.
 

You can help us save the Chaplaincy

Theamount of money we need to save the Chaplaincy is small. Just ??10,000per year raised by students, parents, alumni and friends of theChaplaincy will be enough.

This will prove to the diocese thatwe want and need the Chaplaincy. It will preserve a vital service and avenue that is used by students of all faiths or none.


If 500 people pledge to donate just ??20 per year ??? we WILL save the Chaplaincy.

If 1000 people pledge to donate just ??10 per year ??? we WILL save the Chaplaincy.

Could you be one of those people?


How you can help

Please help us. You can save the Chaplaincy for Southampton students if you pledge to donate.

Please act now, before our chaplaincy is gone for ever. You can donate and pledge your support at

Yours sincerely,
