We’ve recently heard from a parish that was contacted by an organisation called NECRA CIC, offering a carbon survey and certificate for their church building. After looking into the information provided, they had some questions about the approach and chose not to go ahead with the proposed visit.
If your church receives a similar email or phone call, there’s no need to rush. We encourage you to take a little time to check who is contacting you, ask questions, and seek independent advice before agreeing to any surveys or site visits.
If you’re unsure about an approach you’ve received, please get in touch with the diocesan team. We’re always happy to help, and we’d appreciate hearing about similar contacts so we can keep an eye on any wider patterns across our churches.
Thank you to the parish that raised this with us and helped us share this awareness with others.
