We're looking for a group from across the community to propose and, if wished, implement ideas to make the church building fit for future generations. The challenges are:
Accessibility examples:
* There are multiple floor levels, which makes use of mobility aids difficult.
* There's no obvious place to put a projector screen
* We don't have a sign language interpreter
Comfort examples:
* How to make the pews (the community on balance want to keep them!) more comfortable?
* Provision of chairs suitable for people with, i.e., back problems
Ecological examples:
* We currently use gas heating, with a similar bill to a large house for a relatively low number of hours use.
<span style="font-size: 1rem;">* We estimate 50% energy is used to stop freezing and 90% of the rest in heating the fabric and roof space.
* We have a large roof for solar energy and some large areas of ground, and the floor of the church, that could be used for heat pump solutions. We have the space to accommodate storage batteries or hot water tanks. But what would work best?</span>
<span style="font-size: 1rem;">We are looking initially for a Group Leader to set this up. A role description can be downloaded below.
We will also be looking for Group Members and a description for that role will be added soon.</span>
