Finding Calm, Community and Support: Meet Your Multifaith Chaplaincy
March 6, 2026
University life is full of moments — exciting ones, stressful ones, and everything in between. Visiting campus can feel busy at times, and it helps to know there’s a quiet place to slow down.
The Multifaith Chaplaincy offers just that. They are peaceful, welcoming spaces for students and staff of all faiths and none — somewhere you can pause, talk things through, or simply sit quietly for a while.
Here to listen. Here to connect.
Our chaplains offer confidential one-to-one listening support, and we also host gentle, inclusive events throughout the term. One of our favourites is the relaxed afternoon crochet group. No experience needed. Sometimes there’s cake (always tea), and the focus is simply on sitting together, making something with your hands, chatting if you want to and just being. These small moments of connection can make a real difference to how supported and less alone we feel.
Where to Find Us
On the Penryn Campus, you will find the Multifaith Chaplaincy in Tremough Barton Cottage 8. This is a cosy, welcoming place on campus where anyone can come to find a bit of peace — whether that’s working quietly, meeting a friend, meditating or taking a breather between lectures.
On the Falmouth Campus you will find our cosy room in the Hub area, near the Employability office. Our hope is to offer a home-from-home space on campus.
We also know that prayer and meditation form an important part of many people’s wellbeing: we have a prayer and meditation room at the Penryn Chaplaincy, and a Muslim Prayer Room in Tremough House.
Meet Gorgi — Your New First Point of Contact
We’re excited to introduce Gorgi, our new Chaplaincy Operations Assistant! You’ll probably see her around the Chaplaincy spaces, particularly at the Penryn Chaplaincy Office, and she’ll often be the first person you speak to when you reach out.
Her role is all about making sure you feel welcomed, supported, and connected to the right person or service — whether that’s arranging a chat with one of our chaplains or signposting you to wider wellbeing support across the university. Sometimes the hardest part is simply taking that first step, and Gorgi is here to make that as easy and reassuring as possible.
If you’re passing by, pop in and say hello — she’d love to meet you.
On University Mental Health Day (and Every Day)
University Mental Health Day (12 March) is a reminder that mental health support can take many forms. Sometimes it’s a conversation. Sometimes it’s prayer or meditation. Sometimes it’s tea, biscuits, and a crochet hook. Whatever support looks like for you, the Multifaith Chaplaincy is here — offering warmth, community and a place to simply be. Visit them when you’re next on campus or contact them on chaplaincy@fxplus.ac.uk and 01326370744.
