CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

In keeping with our commitment to our common home Wistaston Hall strives to be as environmentally friendly as possible. We locally source as much of our food as we can to reduce the impact had on the environment. All our tea and coffee is sourced from Fairtrade suppliers.

The entire building has been fitted with solar panels so that we can produce our own electricity to run the centre on and from September 2021, we will have  electrical charging sockets in our car park, so that our guests can charge their cars. We are cultivating wildflower areas in the gardens to encourage bees and other wildlife. We encourage all people to enjoy the extensive grounds we have here at the Centre

Pope Francis on the Environment

"Doomsday predictions can no longer be met with irony or disdain. We may well be leaving to coming generations debris, desolation and filth. The pace of consumption, waste and environmental change has so stretched the planet’s capacity that our contemporary lifestyle, unsustainable as it is, can only precipitate catastrophes, such as those which even now periodically occur in different areas of the world.”

Pope Francis  - On care for our common home

Pope Francis said in Laudato Si “Our common home is like a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us… We have forgotten that we ourselves are dust of the earth (cf. Gen 2:7); our very bodies are made up of her elements, we breathe her air and we receive life and refreshment from her waters.”

Pope Francis - February 2020
