Since beginning the Eco Church group at St Giles in late 2021, we have been working towards a Bronze award on the A Rocha Eco Church scheme. We have introduced many measures at St Giles for the five areas of Church Life. These are:
- * Worship and teaching
- * Management of church buildings
- * Management of church land
- * Community and global engagement
- * Lifestyle
- St Giles was finally awarded the Bronze Award on 28th March 2022 and we are now working towards the next step – Silver!
One measure that we have taken is to apply to be a Fairtrade Church.
For many years we have been using Fairtrade items as part of the refreshments served at St Giles and we have celebrated Fairtrade Fortnight.
This year the theme of March’s Friday Family Fun will be Fairtrade and there will be lots of crafts and activities on that theme.
Watch this space to find out how we got on!
