Book now to secure your place for the Community Chaplaincy Visioning Day
- 3rd July, London

This is an important event for the network as we get some expert advice and discuss how we want to develop the Community Chaplaincy network over the next 3 years.

Speakers will be:
- Duncan Shrubsole of the Lloyds Bank Foundation
- Dr Jane Dominey of the Institute of Criminology at the University of Cambridge
The event will be facilitated by Carl Reynolds and there will be workshops designed to look at how we move the network forward and provide the best support to people leaving prison or serving community sentences.

Please register early for this event at this link: Eventbrite. There is a small charge for the event of £20. This will be used to help us support those having to travel some distance from London.*


* Note on travel bursaries: we do not want travel costs to be a barrier to any member project attending. We are therefore running a travel bursary scheme. Those travelling long distances are encouraged to apply for reimbursement of part of their fare. If you intend to make use of the travel bursary please let me know by 16th June by email to [email protected] to arrange reimbursement.
