Welcome to the website of the Paediatric Chaplaincy Network (for GB&I). We are a group of multi faith religious and spiritual care staff and volunteers working in hospitals, hospices and the wider community. This is a very new website and launched to hold the videos for our newest resources. New pages will be added shortly.
