The OBU provides ongoing support with life decisions and pastoral care through its Whole of Life programme.

We encourage Old Boys to care for one another throughout their lives by connecting with each other and being there in times of need.

If you need support you can contact the Community Chaplain here or Alumni Community Manager here.

They will be able to guide and assist you, confidentially.

The list below is a sample of resources available.  Note - not all views expressed in these websites (or the views of the organisations involved) are the views of Shore or the Chaplaincy team.
