We are an Eco ChurchIn March 2017 our church signed up to the A Rocha UK Eco Church programme, an initiative aimed at supporting churches to care for God's world and to address climate change. In November 2020 we were awarded with a prestigious Silver Eco Church Award.
Some of the change we have made to become a more sustainable and church include measuring the carbon foot print of our church premises; changed our utility provider to a green energy supplier; installed LED lighting in the church and church hall; motion activated lighting in the corridor and toilet area; in 2019 we installed a A+ rated gas boiler replacing the old oil filled boiler, installed dual flush buttons to our toilet cisterns and double glazing to the newer parts of our building. We recycle as much of our waste as possible and participate in a number of Terracyle community recycling schemes and have a large composting area for our green and brown waste. Outside we have installed water butts to collect rain water and have dedicated areas for wildlife including a wildflower area and pond and have developed a community veg beds scheme, which provide free fruit and vegetables to the parish . |
