We express care and concern irrespective of people’s faith or belief.
- Chaplains visit shops and business on a regular basis.
- Chaplains are available to listen and help in any way we can - maybe because of a crisis or just there with a listening ear or for a general chat.
- Chaplains are able to direct you to a source of help - however large or small the problem you face.
- Chaplains will observe complete confidentiality, unless there is a perceived danger that needs addressing.
What do Chaplains do?
The Exeter City Centre Chaplaincy seeks to serve all who work in the shops in Exeter City Centre by offering a listening ear. Chaplains aim to visit any given shop at least once a month (more often in larger stores) so as to get to know the staff and become trusted by them.
A Chaplain is allocated a number of shops in a defined area, or may concentrate on one large store. Relationships are also established with people who work in and around the shopping centres including: the cleaners and security staff.
In Princesshay and the Guildhall Centre, Chaplains may be able to make contact with those who run stalls for just one day, or one week, as well as the more permanent shops.
In small shops (such as those in Fore St) there may be only one or two staff. A visit to such places once a month is sufficient to get to know these folk. One chaplain can serve 30 - 40 such shops.
