Recent bats surveys have identified Pipistrelle and Soprano Pipistrelle bats in the churchyard. We now have boxes in various locations. This is part of our land management plan to encourage wildlife in Gods Acre. It is important that the roosts are not disturbed, and they have been located away from the main paths.Here's a link to the Bat Conservation Trust https://www.bats.org.uk/24/9/23
Toilet Twinning has been running since 2010. Tearfund, who work alongside communities, bringing people together to focus on issues like safe sanitation. 1 1 in 10 people in the world do not have access to clean water and 1 in 5 do not have access to toilet. We have twinned all three toilets at the hall as a way to raise funds for the work of Tearfund. For more information about Toilet Twinning follow the link on our Eco Church page. 20/9/23
