What is Parish Refill?
In December 2019 we opened a refill station as part of our work here at Ascension. It was started by members of the congregation who felt they needed to take practical action as part of caring for creation. They set up a refill station so they could support the local community in becoming more environmentally friendly and we had the perfect place for them to do it. Following a series of brainstorming meetings, we eventually set up a shelving area at the back of the church, in front of the most beautiful, but often forgotten, stained glass windows.
