The Non-Religious Pastoral Support Network offers like-minded institutional care to non-religious people across the UK through a network of trained carers.

Our Director is in Antwerp this weekend learning from all the other organisations delivering non-religious pastoral, existential, or chaplaincy care in Europe. We have a lot we can collaborate on to make sure we’re all up to the task of meeting the needs of non-religious people.

[NRPSN @NRPSN]

How long has non-religious pastoral support existed? Sometimes we are accused of being 'woke', or a fad.

Non-religious individuals have been trying to make chaplaincy more inclusive and equal for hundreds of years, and here's an example from The Literary Guide from 1943:

[NRPSN @NRPSN]

Wonderful to hear stories of non-religious individuals wanting to help make chaplaincy more inclusive and diverse. @LeoIgwe is a trailblazer.

The brilliant Jo Mutlow sharing “Conversations in Limboland” with the @Humanists_UK Humanism in Action attendees. Wonderful to bring non-religious pastoral care to this group!

[NRPSN @NRPSN]

Very excited to be at @Humanists_UK’s Humanism in Action day today ahead of their convention, showcasing how non-religious practitioners are vital parts of inclusive pastoral and spiritual care teams. We’re meeting some amazing people!

[NRPSN @NRPSN]

We are very proud to have had some of our practitioners take part in the first modules of CPE. It's wonderful to see more inclusive routes for professional development!

[NRPSN @NRPSN]

We can't wait to see it @EmmaDixon_EU!

[NRPSN @NRPSN]

We are very proud to have Lindsay as one of the trailblazers of non-religious pastoral care in the UK. She proves time and again that professionalism, collaboration, and empathy are the roads to equality and inclusion.

Happy anniversary @lindsayvandijk!

[NRPSN @NRPSN]

Our practitioners make an immeasurable difference to those they support, but being a practitioner is in itself a transformative experience.

We're broadening how we support professionals to get into this field, train with us or @NSPCinfo and discover how incredible this work is.

[NRPSN @NRPSN]

[Daniel Nuzum @danielnuzum]

The awesome @lindsayvandijk is our keynote speaker today at #ENHCC. As a humanist chaplain she described joining a chaplaincy team was like being a vegetarian in a meat eating world…
She leads a diverse faith and non religious belief hospital chaplaincy team in the NHS

[NRPSN @NRPSN]

Often people who are non-religious or humanist are lumped together in the latter part of "all faiths and none" as though we have a void where others have religious beliefs.

In fact, the diversity and richness of belief is just as fascinating as with our religious friends.

[Humanists UK @Humanists_UK]

📢📚🙌 Special announcement...  A new book of inspiring interviews with over 30 humanists in the public eye  set for release in November. It’s called 'What I Believe' & this is its beautiful cover! https://t.co/OVNvd8g8SZ

[NRPSN @NRPSN]

Faith & belief should be a source of comfort and inspiration, but some people us it to control and abuse.

Our sibling project offers training for professionals in how to support people who have been subjected to religious abuse. Book a space to find out more.
