SCORE is a registered charity and functions interdenominationally with Christian clergy to resource, train and induct them into a wide variety of sports chaplaincy settings.

It is an umbrella organisation for sports chaplains in different sports, and also provides chaplaincy at major sporting events. Most recently Score was responsible for the Chaplaincy programmes at the 2000 Rugby League World Cup Finals, the 2001 World Amateur Boxing Championships and the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, 2007 World U19 Rugby Union Finals. We also acted as Chaplaincy Consultant to the organisers of the 2004 Olympic and Paralympc Games in Athens.

Sports chaplaincy is usually an honorary post, and not a paid position, so the chaplain can serve management and staff as a neutral. It is a real job and not just a title. It requires time, genuine commitment and an interest in all members of the club staff, and not just the elite players.
