Amport House

Corporal Jessica Sparkes endured on the long journey across London to Amport House to do the Personal Awareness Course. Amport House Chaplaincy Center is for the center for the Armed Forces Chaplin's. Whatever the time of year, the house and magnificent park and gardens offer a peaceful setting for the work that takes place at the AFCC. The Armed Forces Chaplaincy Center is able to offer a wide variety of residential courses. Besides supporting the Service Chaplains, the Center offers many courses to those who are interested in developing their ability to work with people in the Service community.The courses are aimed at enhancing both personal skills and the skills required in the pastoral care of Service personnel and their families. This site gives details of the courses and an application form which can be downloaded and completed.   As a Chaplaincy Center, Amport House can offer a unique atmosphere where people of any rank and background can work, dine, learn and relax together in a private and secure location. The Chapel offers a further place of peace and tranquility around which the community centers its spiritual life.   Where capacity exists in the programme, space is given to organizations that have spiritual, moral or welfare roles within the Service community, so that its unique atmosphere can be offered to as many service people and their dependents as possible.   We hope you will be able to find something that will be of benefit to you and that will both support and enhance your work.

"This year I went to Amport House which is a fantastic property that is the mod chaplaincy centre, whilst at amport we did different tasks that made you think about you as a person and how other people perceive you as well as what we feel is appropriate to say to others or in the period others as we have freedom of speech and we had debates regarding different complicated issues. I was only with the people for a weekend but everyone was so nice and we all got along so well I would recommend going to Amport to anyone as it is an amazing experience."
