WorkCare West Midlands (WMM) is pioneering ‘Workplace Chaplaincy Sunday’ on 5 October 2025. This initiative has received active support from mainstream Christian denominations in the West Midlands and is now looking to gather support nationally and from other regions.
WMM is ecumenically funded and supports around 40 workplace-based chaplains, split roughly 50:50 between retail chaplaincies and company chaplaincies (e.g. Birmingham Airport, National Express, West Midlands Fire Service).
What is the aim of this event?
The aims are multiple:
- Raising the profile of Chaplaincy and the front-line support it offers to employees facing various life issues.
- Encouraging others to do a ‘taster session’ to see if it is for them and then hopefully encouraging more people to be trained as Chaplains in the workplace
- Encouraging businesses to consider using a Chaplain as part of their pastoral care offering – there are bound to be business decision-makers within the congregations of most churches
- Giving existing Chaplains more support within their church community
