Asda Chaplaincy (Great Yarmouth)

The Asda chaplaincy in Great Yarmouth has been running since May 2002. Steve Andrews has provided this ministry since it started and faithfully visits the store every week.

He says: “the chaplaincy is available to both members of the public and the staff. People know I am there for them, whoever they are and whatever their need. It is a great privilege to be able to offer this support  and whilst Asda continues to encourage our ministry I will continue to reach out and offer our friendship and support to those who need it.”

 

People can seek Steve’s support with all sorts of things, whether they are about work related worries or personal problems, financial difficulties, relationships, loss and bereavement. As chaplain, Steve attends the store four hours each week. He also provides an out-of-hours service and an email facility during the hours he is not able to visit the store.

 

Team leader, Chris Warner said: “It is the policy of Asda/Walmart to have a chaplain available in all their stores and across the country. The policy was set up through its “store-in-the-community” scheme in 2002 and there is now a network of more than 200 such chaplains. We are really pleased to be able to support this initiative and that steve so faithfully provides a chaplaincy service for the store in Great Yarmouth. It is great too that he has the support of the Great Yarmouth parish team of which he is a member”.
