Our 40-year-old oil-fired system reached the end of its life last year and is no longer usable. This has given us the opportunity to bring forward our plan for installing a ‘carbon net zero’ solution, designed to meet the Church of England’s 2030 target as well as protecting the environment and reducing church running costs.
The solution, which has been reviewed by the church’s architectural and heating consultants, comprises air source heat pumps, interior radiators and 18 solar panels on the south facing roof, requiring a total investment of around £33,000.
We need to install the heating system so that it is ready for next winter. The cost of the system is £20,000. However we have secured a match funding grant from the Church of England under their ‘Give To Go Green’ scheme, which means that raising £10,000 in the next four weeks will enable us to proceed with the project in time for next winter.

This is a special and unique opportunity to preserve our wonderful church building for our community and future generations, and also safeguard the environment!
