Chaplaincy

Whatever your sexuality, gender, race, age, ability, culture or belief, you are welcome to be part of the rainbow family of the Chaplaincy.

University Services

Chaplaincy at the USW is an open and inclusive service to the whole community. It offers confidential and non-judgmental support to staff and students irrespective of faith, culture, gender or sexual orientation.


The Meeting House

The Meeting House is the Chaplaincy's home on the Treforest campus and the centre for much of its activities. We are on the north boundary of the campus, just uphill from the Ferndale Building and the Brook Street gate.

The Meeting House is a place where you can relax, forget the pressures of University life for a little while, and just enjoy being with other people, or if you prefer, sitting quietly by yourself.

A warm welcome awaits you!
