A huge thank you to all our parishes for your dedication in completing the Energy Footprint Tool (EFT)! We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve achieved a record of 58% completion rate.

The EFT is an online resource available through Parish Returns, that will calculate your church’s annual carbon emissions. Completing the EFT allows us at the Diocese to keep track of our overall carbon emissions which in turn will help the Diocesan team know what level of support and  guidance you might need to reduce your carbon footprint.

Additionally, the National Church team will look at the EFT to target further financial support to churches in following years. Thus, the EFT may help you to be an better position to access future funding opportunities and be more prepared for what might happen over the next decade.
