Rev. Dr. Anthea Colledge – Coordinating Chaplain

At times when life is difficult, I’m available for individual pastoral or spiritual support to staff, students and PGRs of all faiths, beliefs, and worldviews. I’m also always happy to go for a coffee and chat about life, the universe and everything.

My areas of interest include mental health and faith/spirituality, neurodiversity, LGBTQ+ inclusion in faith communities, and my very badly behaved dog Taffy, but I’m willing to try almost any topic of conversation once!

I’ve been a University Christian chaplain since 2014 and have also worked in mental health and learning disability projects for the NHS and Local Authorities.

Associate Chaplains

Our Associate Chaplains are a mix of staff members and external community partners. Each Associate Chaplain has their own faith, belief or spirituality and areas of particular interest and specialism and are available to provide pastoral care to students and staff of all faiths and none. 

Fr Eugene Campbell - Associate Chaplain (Roman Catholic)

I have had several different careers in my life, including studying in Paris under Michel Roux and then a police officer for the Metropolitan Police. I have been ordained since 1991 and am now the Parish Priest at Holy Family Parish, Patchway and the Dean of the Pastoral Area of St Edmund of Abingdon.

I look forward to being of service to UWE Bristol students and staff.

Jag Majithia – Associate Chaplain (all faiths and none)

Whether you are facing something new or ongoing, I can listen, we can talk. If you have a specific topic in mind or just want to connect and chat, my perspective is spiritually independent. Whatever your world view, faith-based or other, I believe everyone counts or no one counts, and offer pastoral support to all staff and students so, please do get in touch.

As a trained coach and mentor, I can also support wellbeing and growth through self-discovery.
