Our district Net Zero vision includes that at least 18 of our churches will have Silver Eco Church awards by 2030. Bronze awards can usually be gained without significant cost. Reaching Silver often involves spending money upfront to reduce the amount of fossil fuels burnt to keep our premises warm and lit. We are therefore pleased to announce that as a district we have been awarded Connexional funding, which enables us to make grants of up to £10,000 for measures to help Bronze or Silver Eco Churches make further improvements to the carbon footprint of their premises. Further details about these grants, subsidized energy efficiency surveys and our new district environmental policy are on the district website.
