Net Zero Resources

Comments Off on Net Zero Resources
Over the last couple of months, guidance on fundraising for net zero and energy audits has gone live. 
The Net Zero Checklists for Churches and Manses have also been updated- you can download them from this page.
I’m going to be developing guidance sheets on different net zero technologies next and would love to link these across to case studies of churches where those technologies are in action. If you have solar panels, an all LED lighting system, improved insulation, electric car charging, improved glazing, an electric heating system or any other net zero install! Please do get in touch.
Remember too that I am here to support churches, so if you’re considering a net zero project and want some support, please get in touch.
A Newlove.

This is traditionally celebrated on the second Sunday in June, but churches may choose a date more convenient for them.

This year, MHA Sunday shines a spotlight on dementia, an issue close to many of our hearts. At MHA, we’re proud to support people living with dementia, helping them stay connected and engaged in their communities.

By taking her learning back to her community, Aurelia is holding hope in her hands.
