Look at these great returns on your investment

From students

‘I can tell her all my secrets.’

‘It's good to have someone that listens to you, if you can't talk to people at home.’

‘The confidentiality part is the best. Nothing that you say to her is going to get spread.’

From principals

‘Chaplaincy in school is absolutely fantastic. We would be sometimes lost without it.’

‘It is one of the most productive investments anybody could make. We know that funds are scarce. So we’re very grateful for any kind of support. We want people to know that they receive that back tenfold in what it provides to the students.’

‘If I have got a member of staff who’s having difficulty with family ... and if I find any other teachers who are not coping well ... I get the chaplain to just have a quiet chat and it works really well.’

From chaplains

‘That Christmas Day, her Dad had committed suicide. She had been bottling up her emotions for six months and all of a sudden she just cracked. I was now able to connect with her and help her to begin talking about her feelings and start to move her on to a better place.’

‘They are still needing an adult figure in their lives that they can connect with. Sometimes that is a very rare experience for some young people.’

‘A lot of young people are dealing with mental health issues. It’s a growing trend with depression and anxiety.’

‘Sometimes I am the last resort. It could be a boy or girl about to be expelled –“can you spend some time with them?” – we can sort stuff out.’

‘We will do whatever it takes, whenever it is. You’re not there 9 to 5. We do all this stuff after hours and we don’t put in a time sheet for our overtime, because this is a calling. This is a passion. I want to say to people who give to this work, believe me you get good value for money.’
