Facilities for worship

The Faith Centre on campus operates an 'all welcome' policy, and is open all week. This service is for everyone, regardless of religious belief. The team are happy to sit and listen, and to offer confidential friendship and support. Anyone who visits is treated with respect and confidentiality. The meeting room offers space for quiet conversation and a quiet room is available for those who wish to be still and pray. It is a place of peace on a busy campus.

Huddersfield is a community made up of many faiths. Naturally this is reflected in the student population, and there are student groups for Christians, Muslims and Jews.
