Can you help us get heating back in our church?

Englisch-bischöfliche Gemeinde in Hamburg
A project from Englisch-bischöfliche Gemeinde in Hamburg in Hamburg, Germany
In 2021 our heating system broke irreparably and so we have embarked on a project to find a replacement that minimises the carbon footprint. We have been able to complete initial studies, but need funding to take the project forward.

About this project

Monica Schofield from Englisch-bischöfliche Gemeinde in Hamburg is responsible for this project
In 2021, the church's antiquated heating system gave up the ghost. We launched this appeal to raise money to pay for professional advice on the options for a replacement system that would reduce our CO2 emissions. Enough money was raised through Betterplace and from other sources to commission studies to help clarify the options. We are now clearer on the options and the fact this is going to be very costly, but working out the details and the overall costs to enable us to move forward needs more detailedwork. 

We are therefore continuing this appeal to raise money for further advice to be sought and are immensely grateful for donations received.

'The Anglican Church of St Thomas à Becket in Hamburg is part of the Church of England. We’re a multinational community of all ages and an important contributor in Hamburg to the integration of people from all over the world. We also help young people of mixed backgrounds to find a community here. We’ve been in Hamburg for over 400 years, making us one of the oldest Anglican churches outside the UK. We’re entirely self-supporting, and proud of our beautiful listed neoclassical building, opened in 1838 and then funded by public subscription, the 19th century version of crowdfunding. However, it is in need of a new heating system.
