We as a Church have made a real commitment to the environment – to be as green as we can be as a Church and a congregation. There is an eco group that meets on a regular basis to discuss how we can make for of a difference and less of an impact! In addition, we also run a number of events aimed at encouraging green activities and celebrating the environment.
We have won the ‘Eco-Congregation’ award for the last 3 years.
