Trinity College Chapel - Chaplains of Trinity College, Cambridge

Chaplains

Trinity College has two Chaplains, who take responsibility for the pastoral care of members of College, as well as leading daily worship and running groups and activities. The Chaplains are available at all times to meet with students, and can also regularly be found in their rooms during their office hours, or at other times by appointment.

Anne Strauss Anne read History at Trinity and worked in local government before returning to the College to study law. She practiced as a solicitor in Cambridgeshire before taking a career break to have her children, three of whom are now at university. She was ordained in 2019 and served her curacy in Cambridge. She is happy to be contacted by any member of the College community about anything they face, whether faith related or not. She can signpost to other services and works closely with the rest of Trinity's welfare team.

Sophie Young Before taking up chaplaincy roles in the university, first at Pembroke College and now here at Trinity, Sophie worked as Chaplain to the homeless community in Cambridge and as the Bishop’s Officer for Homelessness in the Diocese of Ely. On a day-to-day basis she was working in the streets and in hostels across the city with people who were multiply disadvantaged. As part of that ministry, she ran an addiction group and a women’s safe space. Before becoming a Church of England priest, Sophie worked in HR for Lloyds Bank, studied Theology at Churchill College here in Cambridge, and read Geography as an undergraduate at Durham University. As chaplains, Anne and Sophie are here for everyone in the community, of all faiths and none. If you’d like to chat about hopes, possibilities, or problems, please do get in touch anytime and Sophie will be glad to meet with you.
