Kate Bruce and Asher

The Chaplain has a key role in providing welfare support to all members of the college community. If you need space to talk about any difficulties you may be experiencing – just get in touch with her. Revd Kate Bruce has worked as Chaplain to Van Mildert and Trevelyan Colleges and started with St John’s College on September 1st 2008. During her time with the hill colleges she worked extensively in student support and liaised closely with the Senior Tutors in both colleges.

She is keen to stress that the Chaplain is available to ALL members of the College concerning any matters that are troubling them: practical, emotional, or spiritual. If she is unable to help you directly, she will know someone who can help and will point you in the right direction.

Her office is Haughton B10 (just down the stairs from the Finance Office).
She is also contactable by email – kathrine.bruce2@durham.ac.uk or internal phone - 3343851.

Dog lovers: Please feel free to come and visit Asher (black lab) who works with Kate as co-chaplain (and is much more likely to be found wearing a dog-collar).
