Host a repair café for the wider community
Build and Support the circular economy.
Investigate your community’s ethical consumption
Use the Parish Ethical Consumption Toolkit resource to review all aspects of parish consumption, including energy, communications, cleaning etc.
GIVE SOMEONE A LIFT
Help cut down traffic and air pollution by sharing your car with other parishioners, especially if they rely on a lift to get there! It also makes it more likely you will find a space to park in.
WILDLIFE GARDEN
There are plenty of ways to get creative and encourage wildlife to return to our parish spaces.
WILDFLOWER MEADOW
Only 2% of the UK’s wildflower meadows that existed in the 1930s survive today.
BIRD OR BAT BOX
Could you add some bird and bat boxes on the church?
PLANTING TREES
If you have space why not plant some trees? This provides different habitats and shade for you and other wildlife.
VERTICAL GARDEN (wildlife)
Why not turn a bland wall into a thriving tower block of life, full of vegetation.
PLANT SWAP
A parish plant swap or sale is a great way to encourage people to grow their own food at home.
VEGETABLE GARDEN
Could you turn a piece of parish grounds into an allotment?
