Environmental Stewardship and Creation Care

We care about the world that God created and are taking steps to reduce the impact that we as a church have on the climate.
Some of the things that we have done:
Solar panels on:
Church House (our hall): a 10kWpk system on the parish hall was installed in 2015.
Church Garth (the house in New High Street owned by All Saints Church): 4kWpk system, with battery, was installed in 2023
Vicarage: system installed in 2024
Energy use
We have undertaken the Diocese-sponsored energy audit, and have done about 90% of the recommendations; and are working on the rest.
In 2023 we spent in excess of £15,000 on energy saving measures on our various buildings.
The lighting in the church has been changed to LED lighting, resulting in a large reduction in energy use
Transport
The congregation is local and the vast majority of people walk or cycle to get to church services on Sundays
Awareness
Screening of "The People’s Emergency Briefing" and discussion afterwards, in church in October 2026
