Welcome to Towards Net Zero by 2030 - A Pit Stop for Rural Churches
Join us at the beautiful St Mary's Church in Wiveton, located in North Norfolk's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, for an exciting in-person conference focused on sustainability. With a range of prominent guest speakers including the Bishop of Norwich, A Rocha UK, the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF), Historic England and the Norfolk Wildlife Trust, we will explore ways for churches to achieve a net zero future by 2030. This event is a unique opportunity for rural churches to share ideas, gain inspiration and take action towards a greener tomorrow. Don't miss out on this chance to make a positive impact. The conference is FREE, being supported by the NLHF. Free parking and lunch at the Wiveton Bell are also provided - please lift share wherever possible. The conference will also be livestreamed if you are unable to make it in person.
We look forward to seeing you!
