Congratulations to Cadder Parish Church, Bishopbriggs for gaining an Eco-Congregation Award

A thriving Fairtrade shop and café, working for both the local and global communities.
There is comprehensive recycling programme with further emphasis on Reduce/Reuse/Repair.
Study walks by the canal are used as a novel way of building understanding of the links between Christian faith and stewardship of the environment.
The church graveyard environmental improvements are an excellent example of working in partnership with local government and the local community.
