A new and exciting challenge for RSR has been the funding and placement of Pastoral Workers with the Royal Navy and Royal Marines.

Currently there are workers serving or planned at HMS NELSON; HMS COLLINGWOOD: HMS SULTAN; Southwick Park (Portsmouth); RNAS Culdrose; RNAS Yeovilton; HM Naval Base Clyde; JSU Northwood and with the Royal Marines at Poole, Stonehouse (Plymouth) and CTCRM. The work of the Pastoral Worker is different at each establishment but similar in that each worker is a close member of the Chaplancy and is there to help, to offer support and solve problems if possible… rather like Agnes all those years ago.
