Faith contacts
Although the University is a secular institution, we aim to ensure all of our community can participate in the wide variety of faith groups in and around York.
We have provided a list of faith contacts we use to signpost our students to for faith and spiritual support. Note that these are not formal University roles.
We encourage all of the faith groups listed to work in partnership with the University (via Student Support and the Equality and Diversity Office) as appropriate to meet our (and their) duties under the Equality Act (2010). To give feedback on any of the groups or contacts below see the foot of this table.
