WE BELIEVE IN CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT…The earth and all that is in it was created by God and he has entrusted its care to us. Therefore, we have a responsibility to steward the earth’s resources (see Psalms 24:1; 115:16).

Sustainability and the Global South

We all feel the effects of changing weather patterns, but communities in the global south are worst-affected by the impacts of the changing climate. Through our work in the developing world, we’ve seen how changing weather patterns affect those who are least resilient.

By taking even small steps in our lifestyle choices, we can play a part in reducing the effects of climate change and help create a more sustainable world. Tearfund Ireland have identified a way we can help your church create a more sustainable future.

Energy Affinity Offer for Tearfund Ireland

Tearfund Ireland have agreed an affinity rate with Bord Gáis Energy for the supply of electricity and gas. Bord Gáis Energy is one of Ireland’s leading energy suppliers serving over 50,000 commercial customers. We have selected Bord Gáis Energy as our partner and they will offer an affinity rate for churches and businesses who support Tearfund Ireland.

Energy Efficiency Audit

An added benefit for larger churches and businesses is the provision of an energy audit which can be carried out for buildings which consume higher volumes of electricity. Subject to qualifying criteria, the audit will enable Bord Gáis Energy to identify ways you can reduce your energy consumption.
