We used the A Rocha guidelines to assess where our Church was on the route to be more aware of where we were in terms of being ‘green’. We are delighted to achieve Gold status and the enclosed article celebrates our achievement HERE.
We gained the Silver Eco Church Award in April, 2023 and the Eco Group has continued to work until attaining the Gold Award in April 2025.
St. George’s has continued to be aware of caring for God’s earth through our Creation Services and prayers. The Eco Group has continued to organise activities to raise the profile of caring for God’s earth The community litter pick in Long Lane Woods has now been increased to four per year. These are usually held in February, April, July and October. The numbers attending do fluctuate, but we are hoping that more of the congregation, as well as the wider public, will join us this year. For further details please see document below.
Our website has plenty of recommendations on how to become more ECO friendly.
