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.

Associated Projects

Building on the success of Living Waterways, we run a fast-growing network of Associated Projects. These are practical local initiatives across the UK, run by local people. Find out more about the Associated Projects programme here, and read about existing Associated Projects at Steyning Downland in West Sussex, Lea Brook Valley in Dronfield, Derbyshire, Chiltern Gateway in Oxfordshire, and the Gower in Wales.

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.

National Education

We have been working locally with primary school children for over 9 years. To help equip others we have made Environment Club and assembly material available online, click here.

We are developing materials for GCSE Religious Education, which can be used nationally as part of the 'Faith and the Environment' module. These will be available for purchase in the second half of 2010. To find out more, click here.

Helping churches

We offer resources and events to help the Christian Church in the UK recapture God's original commission to care for creation. Read more about our Partner Churches programme here.

Living Lightly

We also need to consider the impact of own lifestyles. Living Lightly helps you to do this and learn from others.
