Southwark Cathedral awarded the A Rocha UK Silver Eco Award

We are delighted to announce that Southwark Cathedral has been awarded the A Rocha UK Silver Eco Award for our work on the environment and promoting sustainability.

The Silver award is part of the Eco Church scheme created by A Rocha UK, a charity committed to mobilising Christians to care for nature.

Achieving the Silver EcoChurch award is down to the excellent work we have been doing across the various areas of Cathedral life. These include reducing our energy use, improving recycling, hosting events on the environment, encouraging small changes through our monthly Sustainable Steps feature and developing the Cathedral precinct to increase biodiversity, amongst our many green initiatives.

Work is already underway to achieve our Gold Award, so watch this space!
