| Description | Neighbourhood Chaplains (NC) is a uniformed community task-force which goes out from scheme member churches around the UK. Volunteers offer about 2 hours per week. They work in 3 teams: (1) meeting (2) befriending and (3) as ‘helping hands’ to serve as good neighbours in their communities. NC is there to help everyone, not only those with a Christian faith. Not just a social justice programme, NC offers practical help twinned with evangelism, giving the choice (for those who want to) to meet a Christian, explore their spiritual questions, and access the church or other signposted charities, because we believe that loneliness isn’t just physical, it’s spiritual. |

| Methods of instruction | NC member churches sign up to a ‘level one’ training day (a full day on a Saturday) and receive a Handbook and Workbooks for each trainee. After the training day the local teams work together with a Local Organiser who is the designated leader from the local church or group of churches. The Local Organiser becomes the contact point between Counties and their scheme: to order uniforms; for support writing their Policies and Procedures; to investigate ‘level two’ training; and to order our free resources such as books, giveaway leaflets etc. from Counties office.
