A Rocha UK has developed Eco Church – an award scheme for churches in England and Wales – of all denominations - who want to demonstrate that the gospel is good news for God’s earth.
Here in Market Harborough a small group of representatives from the different churches are trying to encourage each church to ‘go green’ – caring for God’s wonderful creation.
We’d love your church to take part in this exciting initiative, which will challenge and equip you to care for God’s world in all areas of your life together.
But to become an Eco Church you need to form a small group of people who are enthusiastic about the environment.
To find out more go on line - Eco Church – A ROCHA.
One of us would be very happy to come along to your church and speak briefly about ECO CHURCH – and when the group is formed I – or another member of our group - would be happy to meet with them.
To participate in the Eco Church scheme, register your church at ECO CHURCH – A ROCHA. You can then begin completing the online survey by indicating how your church is caring for God’s earth in your worship and teaching, around your buildings and grounds (if applicable), in your community engagement at local and global level and in your personal lifestyles as church members.

Once your church has amassed sufficient points, you will qualify for an Eco Church Award at Bronze, Silver or Gold level.

Unfiltered Vegan is a family start up business based in the UK selling high quality, Organic and Natural Superfood Powders and Superfood Blends with a single goal in mind – to help people transition into a healthier lifestyle and discover the amazing benefits of what nature has to offer. We were inspired by Georgiana’s childhood where she used to forage for Sea Buckthorn with her Grandparents and remembered how the natural, organic produce would help keep them healthy. We wanted to reinvigorate this philosophy which is lost on so many people nowadays where artificial substitutes and supplements are replacing natural vitamins and minerals. During the beginning of the 1st lockdown in 2020 we were looking to purchase sea-buckthorn powder for ourselves to help our immune system against the virus and we realised that it wasn't very accessible in the UK and the products that were available were low quality and not organic. In addition to sea buckthorn, we tasted other superfoods such as Camu Camu powder which was featured in the Netflix documentary "Down to Earth-with Zac Effron" and Maca powder and we were blown away by the amount of nutrients and benefits they have. We found that superfood products aligned to our values of sustainability, high quality, organic and eco friendly were not available. We began to source responsible suppliers and started providing these healthy, nutritious and sustainable products to the UK market and we are very happy with what we have achieved so far.
