Help us grow greener churches!
Help Eco Church grow. That’s the message from A Rocha UK chief Andy Atkins (pictured far left at urban reserve Wolf Fields). Andy has just launched an appeal fund for the award scheme in the latest edition of A Rocha UK’s Root & Branch magazine.
However, supporters don’t have to wait for their copy – they can donate online now (at www.justgiving.com/arochauk – quote EC201605 in the comments box so your donation can boost our work with churches).
Alternatively, supporters can give by post (FREEPOST RSSB-SCBG-CSKR, A Rocha UK, 18 Avenue Road, Southall UB1 3BL – use the code ‘EC201605’ on the reverse of any cheque or charity voucher sent).

Welsh activists vs drastic plastic
Welsh surfer and ocean activist Laura Truelove recently helped lead a beach clean with nearly 70 children and teachers from a Swansea school – and staff from A Rocha UK’s partner St Madoc Centre, Llanmadoc.
Kathryn Britton of Keep Wales Tidy also assisted with the two-hour clean-up. This marine task force gathered more than 30 bags of rubbish from one of these islands’ most spectacular shorelines.
‘Among the rubbish, there were all sorts from glass and plastic bottles to lighters, fisherman’s rope, cotton bud sticks, and even the odd shoe,’ said Laura (pictured), a representative for Surfers Against Sewage.
