Mission
Trinity Methodist Church, Clitheroe, appointed a Climate Action Champion to oversee its response to the Climate Emergency in 2021 and to register with the A Rocha Eco Church Award Scheme to identify how environmentally friendly a church it was.
Performance
The Climate Action Champion recruited a small Eco Group in January 2022 and registered with A Rocha for their Eco Church Award Scheme and investigated what they could do to be environmentally friendly.
For information, an award is obtained by answering a series of survey questions divided into five categories:
- Worship and Teaching.
- Buildings (this concerns double-glazing, insulation and they type of lightbulbs used etc)
- Land (this includes, in Trinity’s case, the Trinity Eco Community Garden that we are starting).
- Community and Global Engagement
- Lifestyle
Trinity obtained a Silver Award in March 2024 and a Bronze Eco Church Award two years previous in April 2022, they are now striving to achieve a Gold Award.
