Our work

A Rocha UK is a movement of people - staff, volunteers and Friends; working together for the good of God’s creation.

Our work across the UK includes practical conservation initiatives and environmental education, both of which are at the heart of A Rocha’s mission. We work with both churches and individuals, inspiring and equipping them, and harnessing their enthusiasm as we care for God’s world together. We also operate a consultancy service which provides high quality conservation advice. In addition we support the wider family of A Rocha projects present in 18 countries. Our head office is in Southall, West London, and there are team members in many parts of the UK. To find out more about any of these work areas, read on.

Practical Action

Our practical projects demonstrate creation care in a practical way and are a great way to get involved in making a difference yourself.

Our original project is Living Waterways in Southall, west London. Directly managed by A Rocha UK, this works in partnership with the local community and includes the Minet Country Park, school's education, interfaith work and our community centre.

Science and Conservation

Our science and conservation work is not all project-based. We also offer a consultancy service and provide national science resources. For more information please view our consultancy page or contact andy.lester@arocha.org.
