Adopt a chaplain

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks… 1 Thessalonians 5:16

Colleague Support Pods Steering Group and have been visiting various sites which house these Pods. The pilot study of the Pods have them currently located in eight locations. They seek to give people working in the Wessex Area an opportunity to talk to a Railway Chaplain (as well as an EAP) about issues of concern, knowing they are speaking to someone confidentially, who is impartial and non-judgemental. The Pods have been enthusiastically welcomed and have been 'used'. May I encourage you, should you need to talk, to make use of these Pods if in your area. Your mental health is vitally important for your own wellbeing, to us and for a healthy working environment.

It is a privilege to support and assist all those who work within the rail industry. I have recently had conversations with people who are particularly struggling with their mental health at the moment, who are finding it extremely difficult to manage work and their family life. Please pray for a greater awareness and understanding with their colleagues and managers, for wisdom in those who support and have dealings with them. Pray against the spirit of despair and that they would find favour and a reason to rejoice. For hope to rise up and that they see change in their situations this year.

Why not ‘adopt’ and support one of our chaplains with a donation to Railway Mission? Or join our prayer supporters in upholding chaplains as they go about their work?

By making a donation, you will enable chaplains to continue in their full or part-time ministry to rail staff across England, Scotland and Wales. You can locate the chaplain that serves your local area at railwaymission.org/find-achaplain.
