Give To Go Green is a match-funding pilot project from the Church of England’s Net Zero Programme, working with churches to double local donations, to help pay for carbon reducing projects.
We were one of seven dioceses selected to take part in Give to Go Green, and we’re delighted that all 12 of our churches that put forward projects have had their applications approved for funding.
These projects include installing roof insulation, switching to LED lighting and implementing heating management systems, and will improve energy efficiency, reduce day to day running costs and support our collective journey towards Net Zero. Our total award is around £80,000, which is the largest amount allocated to any diocese taking part.
Give to Go Green is one of the ways the Church of England is funding the national Net Zero challenge and offers to 50:50 match fund churches to a total project value of £20,000.
We will share more information about the churches and projects involved shortly, and their fundraising journeys.
There will be a second opportunity to apply for Give to Go Green funding in the autumn.
