HELM Audit
Although our audit is a bit of a blunt instrument, what we are looking for is a baseline and movement value rather than absolute accuracy.
A couple of interesting results, I found an unwrapped hot water cylinder in an un-insulated storage room, next to an outside wall, under slat windows that don’t seal, on a concrete floor, running hot water taps in a bathrooms used probably a couple of times a month.
Looking more closely than usual is a good idea.
Ordered fair trade coffee to replace our usual for Sunday after the services. This is where the spade strikes the soil. It doubled the price. Questions are being asked – raising bigger issues… Although it is easier just to make changes yourself, the idea of being a church means that we need to be moving together. Doesn’t it?
In this case the hot water cylinder should offset the coffee, but it won’t always work like that. We want to be sustainable – but at what cost?
