We want our church building and new contemplation garden to be an eco-friendly venue for the Audlem community and beyond, now and for future generations.

In order to create an 'eco-building' we are installing air source heating, LED lighting throughout the whole building and double insulating the roof. As the building is used for youth work throughout the year, both as part of our work in Sunday School and through our annual musical productions, we are improving our facilities by building a room dedicated to our young people which will be used solely for their activities. We have completely re-designed our garden, aiming to fill it full of colour and letting the sunlight pour in to create a well-being garden open to everyone. There is nothing like this in the village and we hope that this will be a place that can be open to the community to provide a place of calm and relaxation.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The new eco-friendly improvements will impact the environment in a positive way and encourage people and other community buildings to follow suit. The contemplation garden will provide a space for anyone in the community who needs a place to reflect and relax. The new room will provide a more flexible space for our youth and will ensure the rest of the building can provide different spaces to hire by other organisations in the community. We are already getting a lot of interest and we have been able to show people around the building and garden to see the progress we are making and the plans we have moving forward.
Steps to get it done:
We want our young people in particular to feel a sense of belonging in our new and improved building, that the space is there for them to use and enjoy. We hope that we can show them that we are invested in their future through our eco-friendly work at Audlem Methodist Church.

VolunteerWe are Audlem Methodist Church and we are actively involved in areas of outreach to all ages. Our building not only provides a worship space for our church family but it also serves the village and its people.
Our annual all age musicals, which have been running for nearly 40 years, bring in people from the local area and beyond who might not normally be associated with the church. They are invited to sing, dance and act to produce a four night performance run often in front of a sell out audience. Parents and friends volunteer to help out in any way they can - from sewing costumes and doing stage make up to providing refreshments after the shows. It has become a family event and a feature of the village calendar.
We also have a fantastic network of volunteers who help vulnerable elderly adults sharing meals and involving them in fun activities to give company and friendship to those who need it most.
Creating our new well-being garden will add another dimension to everyone both at organised events and to people who just want to find peace for a little while in their busy day and find comfort in what might be a lonely day.
Due to our current work, we have focused on the future of the building within the wider community. We want to adapt the building so that it becomes eco-friendly so that it not only works for the people who use it but also for the environment around it. Our building will have new air-to-air energy heating system, newly insulated roofs and LED lighting throughout.
We're hoping you can help us to become one of the greenest Church buildings in Cheshire to serve our community now and in the future.
