Response within 48hrs.
We are here to support patients, patients' families and NHS staff during the COVID situation and beyond.
Our chapel space is available for prayer of all traditions and none, and we have chaplains on our team of all traditions too.
Our staff working in Covid-19 positive areas of our hospitals often have nowhere to go to on their breaks or after facing a particularly upsetting situation. 1/2
We pray daily for the staff, patients, families and CUH volunteers.. but if you want to be held in our Chapel Prayers for particular reasons please let us know via Messenger, and we'd be really glad to pray for you.

of the imponderable.). Rid, therefore
