Occasional busy phone lines can make it difficult to reach chaplains during peak times or event periods. To improve your chances of getting through, try calling during mid-morning or early afternoon. Alternatively, for non-urgent queries, consider using email to contact the Chaplaincy. Checking the event timetable online or via social media can also help in planning your participation in events. Ensure you have all necessary details ready, such as your name, contact information, and the nature of your enquiry, to facilitate a smoother process.
