Received from Kate Nash of St Mary’s yesterday:

I thought you may be pleased to know that St Mary’s Dunblane has been awarded a grant from the Climate Challenge Fund of just under £21,000. We are all delighted as this means we will be able to insulate the church hall, double glaze windows, cavity wall and ceiling. We will also be working alongside St Mary’s Primary School and St Blanes Church in a monitoring of energy use.

I shall be attending the event for the announcement of grants at the Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh tomorrow night.

St Mary’s is an eco-congregation. There will be more to follow on this as the project develops.
