St John's Episcopal Church Aberdeen

Our plan to install under-pew heaters powered by electricity generated by solar panels, thereby reducing our use of the gas boiler, is a key part of our Net Zero 2030 project to substantially reduce our carbon footprint and sustain our presence in the heart of the city. Ours is a very diverse congregation, many of whom are vulnerable people living on the margins of society or suffering from mental ill-health for whom keeping warm in winter is often a particular challenge; many tell us they find our weekly Wednesday evening Taize service followed by refreshments comforting and therapeutic.
