Welcome to the Multi-Faith Chaplaincy

Multi-faith Chaplaincy

Welcome to the Multi-Faith Chaplaincy

“A place for peace, prayer, and community at the heart of our University.”

The University’s Multi-Faith Chaplaincy is here for everyone. Whether you practise a particular faith, are exploring questions of belief and meaning, or simply want somewhere calm to pause and reflect, you are warmly welcome.

About the Chaplaincy

The Multi-Faith Chaplaincy is a welcoming and inclusive space for all students and staff, whether you follow a particular faith or not, are exploring spirituality, or simply want a quiet place to reflect. Located in Chancellors Mall, the Chaplaincy offers prayer and quiet rooms, wellbeing activities, and confidential support. Everyone is welcome.

Finding Us

You’ll find the Chaplaincy at the top of Chancellors Mall.

In addition there are prayer rooms located at:

  • Greater Manchester Business School
  • Queens Specialist Building
  • University Medical School

Our Spaces

We’ve created spaces that reflect the diverse needs of our University community:

  • Prayer Room – set out for Muslim prayer, including a curtained area for women.
  • Quiet Room – used for Christian prayer, but also open to anyone, of any faith or none, as a peaceful space for reflection, meditation, or simply taking a break from the demands of university life.
  • Resource Area – a small library with books on spirituality, wellbeing, and faith. You’re welcome to read in the Chaplaincy or borrow books to take away.

Opening Hours:

Monday – Thursday: 8.30am – 7.00pm

Friday: 8.30am – 5.00pm

What We Offer

Our Multi-Faith Chaplaincy exists to serve the whole University community, students and staff alike. We offer:

  • A safe and supportive place, whether you have a faith or no faith.
  • Confidential, non-judgemental conversations
  • Support for your wellbeing and personal journey.
  • Weekly Communion services
  • Guided meditation sessions.
  • Links to Chaplains and faith leaders from a wide range of traditions.
  • Opportunities to get involved in events, discussions, and activities that celebrate diversity and inclusion.

Meet Our Chaplaincy Team

Rev’d Gill Smart is the Coordinating Chaplain. She is based in the Chaplaincy and is always happy to meet with students and staff. Gill can also introduce you to Chaplains from different faiths, ensuring that everyone in our community can access appropriate support.
