## **Promoting the nature and value of chaplaincy in the workplace**
Targeted publicity continues to be very important, the year, as with every organisation, has thrown up its challenges, we continue to explore meaningful ways of reaching out to those who need us. We are much more embedded in the technology space, but recognise that face to face engagement is now very important to re-establish. Chaplains work as best they can, showing great resilience and positivity in their work patterns.
Our supporters, chaplains and interested individuals and organisations, numbering c250, receive regular updates and sent our monthly newsletter which has developed into a considerable resource.
Developing new opportunities for chaplaincy is a continuing challenge, CWC’s engagement with various religious bodies continues to be active
The patrons continue to do what they are able
## **Supporting all in need in the workplace**
This remains a primary activity, we listen and help everyone regardless of faith or no faith wherever possible. We developed a number of online resources, the most notable being a Wellbeing Hub and produced and facilitated a number of training sessions, including support for the self employed, engaging with HR professionals, support for business owners and managers and our course titled ‘Stop Suicide’.
Particular attention has been given to thinking about how society might emerge from the lockdown. A paper was prepared by two trustees concerning the impact of the many losses people will have felt during lockdown. This has found quite wide circulation amongst ministers in Cambridgeshire. This theme was also explored in a session with the Chamber of Commerce. In addition, another paper about the pros and cons of “hybrid working” has been made available.
## **Supporting chaplains**
Supporting Chaplains is one of the main reasons why CWC exists. The Trustees continue to explore new and innovative ways that ensure the health and wellbeing of our chaplains, this has now been broadened to individual email and telephone interaction for those who wish it.
## **Strategic Goals**
These continue to be:
Developing relationships with and amongst chaplains
2
Productive engagement with supporting bodies (faith groups, church leaders, Chamber of Commerce, Professional Organisations etc
Establishing Training Opportunities for Chaplains
In addition we recognise that the workplace for many is a very different experience. Returning employees to a workplace are showing various levels of concern as businesses plan and implement practices for the future.
We are very conscious of the mental health issues which are manifesting themselves. We feel a role of ‘thought leaders’ in this area is vital for the benefit of this community.
**To conclude The Trustees meet regularly to develop the work of CWC and, as indicated above, are actively seeking to extend the reach of chaplaincy in the workplace and be much proactive in the wider community.**
