Best Environmental Charities Your Church Can Support in Patchway

Ever wondered how your church could help the planet without needing a science degree? At Holy Family, we’ve seen firsthand how supporting the right environmental charities turns small actions into big local wins. No fancy equipment or years of experience needed—just bring your enthusiasm for Patchway’s parks and wildlife.

Why Local Charities Beat Global Headlines

Greenpeace gets the big news, but Patchway’s own Green Spaces Initiative has already cleaned up three local parks with church volunteers. Your donation stays right here, funding things like river clean-ups or school garden projects. It’s not just about saving trees—it’s about seeing the results while you grab coffee at the café after church.

Plus, when you back local groups, you meet neighbors who share your love for Patchway. Last month, our youth group raised £150 for the Patchway Wildlife Trust by selling homemade cookies at the community fete. Simple, fun, and it made a real difference.

Start Small, Make a Big Impact

Ready to join in? Check our events calendar for the next community clean-up day. We’ll provide gloves and trash bags—just show up with a smile. No prior experience needed, and it’s a great way to bond with fellow parishioners.

Another easy win? Host a bake sale for a local eco charity. We’ve done this twice this year, and it’s the perfect way to involve kids and families. Plus, it’s a chance to chat with neighbors while raising money for causes that matter.

Don’t worry about picking the ‘perfect’ charity. We’ve partnered with Patchway Environmental Group for two years now—they send clear updates on how your money is used. No confusing reports, just straight talk about what’s growing in our parks and rivers.
