Our Diocese has made a conscious decision to follow Pope Francis’ encyclical letter ‘Laudato Si’ and preserve the earth’s resources. Our energy utilities are procured at a national level through Inter-Diocesan Fuel Management Ltd (IFM), who represent a number of Catholic Dioceses in the UK. IFM is the single largest purchaser of green gas, which is both renewable and largely carbon neutral. Our current gas contract is sourced entirely from this environmentally friendly source.
Office supplies can be sourced through churchmarketplace, a free initiative established by the Catholic Church in 2010. Churchmarketplace exists to help parishes, schools and Catholic organisations negotiate competitive prices and make cost savings. You can register your parish by clicking on the button below.
Supporting the Information Technology (IT) needs of our parishes is extremely important to us. The procurement of IT services and equipment should be discussed with our IT Manager who can offer advice and support as well as saving parishes time and money. Please email E: itsupport@abdiocese.org.uk.
