Chaplains to the Armed Forces
For 20 years the Farmington Institute has supported chaplains to His Majesties Armed Forces. The institute has provided scholarships to chaplains to undertake a particular study which will be a benefit to their chaplaincy and hopefully to other chaplains. The Institute also supports study and planning days for chaplains and from time to time organises chaplains’ discussion forums.
Applications and expressions of interest should go to the Chaplain General in the case of the Army, the Chaplain Chief in case of the RAF, and the Chaplain to the Fleet in the case of the Navy.
Chaplains to Young Offender Institutions
Farmington is supporting imprisoned young people by providing support for chaplains (of any religion) in YOIs.
“Attending the chaplaincy course funded by Farmington Trust was instrumental in my growth as a Muslim chaplain. The course provided me with valuable insights and practical skills that enhanced my ability to support and serve not only in a chaplaincy setting but also in my community. I learned effective approaches to address diverse needs, deepened my understanding of pastoral care, and connected with fellow chaplains who share similar experiences. I am truly grateful for the generous support from Farmington Trust, which made this transformative experience possible and has had a lasting impact on my role.“
