Closed Increase funding for the Royal Army Chaplains' Department.

Closed on

For centuries the Royal Army Chaplains’ Department has ministered to soldiers and their families in times of war and peace. They provide spiritual support, pastoral care, and moral guidance to all.

The planned closure of bases will lead to fewer Garrison Churches. I believe that they provide spiritual support, moral guidance and pastoral care that is invaluable for our Royal Army and that cannot be learned in a classroom.
