A ground-breaking course run by Christians and Muslims at the University of Bolton will train students to become multi-faith leaders.

The week-long training programme is the first of its kind in the UK and will teach people the skills they need to be a chaplain in a multi-faith environment.

Organisers say the course is pioneering and, if successful, could be rolled out to other towns and cities across the country.

Chaplains are traditionally associated with a single faith and provide help and advice for anyone seeking spiritual guidance.
