Network growth: numbers are rising
In our May newsletter sent to our key supporters we are delighted to report that the Anna Chaplaincy network is growing rapidly. In the past six months, more Anna Chaplains have been commissioned than in the whole of the previous twelve months. More than 30 have joined since December 2025.
Areas where new Anna Chaplains are joining the network include: Kent, Essex, Norfolk, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, South London, Surrey, Dorset, Hampshire, and the East Riding of Yorkshire.
Across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, for example, we now have one hundred Anna Chaplains and their Anna Friends – each of them good listeners and people who embody hopefulness.
Bishop of Southampton, Rhiannon King, said at the choral evensong celebrating Anna Chaplaincy in Winchester Cathedral in February:
‘I am a huge fan of Anna Chaplaincy.'
