Chaplaincy in the UK is often cited as an example of effective inter-faith work functioning in the public space where diverse faith and belief communities share the common purpose of supporting others who are struggling with life; with health, through stress at work or in many other ways.
NBO has been happy to support the many new initiatives within Buddhist Chaplaincy and the interest from Buddhists from many different schools and traditions to working in secular contexts is increasing.
One such development arises from the recognition that Buddhism has something to contribute to improving healthcare outcomes. The Buddhist Healthcare Chaplaincy Group is a member of NBO reflecting its strong commitment to bringing together Buddhists from different backgrounds.NBO is also currently keen to support work with chaplains in educational sectors.
