What we do:-
Our Circuit student work exists to offer a warm welcome to students studying in and around Brighton & Hove. If you are studying at a university in the City of Brighton and Hove – that’s the University of Brighton (UoB) or the University of Sussex (US), or if you're a language student or an apprentice, any kind of student - we would love to get to know you and help out in whatever way we can to make your time here even more enjoyable and worthwhile. We are inclusive and aim to welcome and support everyone – of any faith or none.
The Methodist presence at the University of Sussex is Sue Harrington who is a lay, part-time chaplain. At the University of Brighton (where they are known as Faith & Spirituality Advisers) we no longer have a person on the team, but should you want to speak to a Methodist I’m sure one of the Faith & Spirituality advisors will get in touch. We offer all sorts of events and opportunities throughout the year.
The Chaplaincy 'hub' at Sussex is The Meeting House - circular 'spaceship' of a building near Falmer House and Bar. Keep an eye on the university website and join the Sussex Chaplaincy facebook group for updates.

Sanctuary Movement:-
As part of the Sanctuary movement, our Circuit is also very much involved in projects to support refugees and asylum seekers through 6 of the local charities set up to help in various ways. The University of Sussex is also part of the Sanctuary movement and so this links up through the chaplaincy.
