HELPING CHURCHES MOVE TOWARDS
NET ZERO WITH CLARITY, CARE AND COMMUNITY AT HEART
Church Net Zero Action Plans is led by me, Katherine Howlett - an independent specialist helping churches create practical, fundable and permissions‑aligned pathways to Net Zero.
I support church trustees and clergy to make sense of sustainability and decarbonisation, explore realistic options for church buildings, integrating halls and wider church estates, to develop phased, fundable plans that strengthen mission and community benefit.
Practical, people-centred support for churches and heritage buildings working towards Net Zero by 2030.

THOUGHTFUL AND THOROUGH
I take time to understand each church building, its use, and the people involved. This careful approach helps PCCs feel confident and well-informed at every stage.

From fabric-first retrofit and carbon accounting to funding requirements and professional input, I help bring all the elements together into a clear, coherent plan.
COLLABORATIVE APPROACH
I work collaboratively with PCCs, clergy, consultants and diocesan teams, helping people work together calmly and move forward with shared understanding.
