St Andrew's is an Eco-Congregation
St Andrew's achieved recognition as an Eco-Congregation five years ago.
We are now working to the more demanding Eco-Church award.
These are schemes run by the Christian environmental charity A Rocha in partnership with the Church of England, Christian Aid & others.
We planted trees
When the adjacent field was cleared and renamed "St Andrew's Field, a team of volunteers planted trees around the edge to form a screen. Some of them were replanted the next year after the floods of 2014 washed a number away.
