Our aim is to build up our volunteer numbers so that we can offer Calderdale Chaplains across the Borough. ​Our heart and vision is for the peace and prosperity of Calderdale. We see, and want to increasingly see, our Borough as a vibrant, fun, ground-breaking, peaceful place to live, work and play. Calderdale Chaplains is part of this! Meet our volunteer Chaplains...
