Creation Care: Taking Practical Steps to Net Zero

Helping churches reduce carbon, improve buildings and access funding.

This quarterly meeting will provide churches and circuits with practical support on energy efficiency, carbon reduction and funding opportunities. The aim is to educate, inspire action, share progress from across the District and build a supportive community that helps us achieve net zero together.

 

Details of our first meeting in Autumn 2026 will be shared soon.
