Eco congregation

Eco congregation Award

Park United Reformed Church is committed to reducing its impact on the environment and is involved in a number of initiatives to help raise awareness in our local community.

We are hoping to install a solar panel system that will generate 'green' electricity - this will produce electricity that we can use and the surplus will be fed into the national grid.

In addition we hope to be able to install a wood pellet boiler to replace our existing gas boilers that heat the church and the church halls - wood is a renewable fuel unlike gas or oil and is therefore a much more sustainable option. Work is in progress to access funding to allow this ambitious project to proceed.

These are just two initiatives that are part of our application for an Eco congregations award.

We are delighted to be working in partnership with Reading Christian Ecology Link.
