A Rocha UK

Who we are

A Rocha UK is a unique Christian nature conservation charity, mobilising Christians and churches to care for the natural world. We are the UK member of the international A Rocha federation of Christian conservation charities, with sister organisations in 24 countries.  A Rocha UK has a staff of 25 and many volunteers. We run nature conservation activities on our two reserves, advise a national network of conservation partners, inspire Christians to protect nature and act on climate change through our Wild Christian scheme, and run the popular Eco Church scheme for local churches. Our modern office is designed for collaboration and is close to overground and tube stations, with its own secure cycle and parking facilities. 

Our culture and values

Our vision - the world we want to see:

• A world of stable climate and abundant nature, where oceans, rivers, air and soil are free of human pollution.
•  
• Where human society lives in balance with the rest of nature and protects the Earth’s natural systems which sustain all life
•  
• Where all people and communities have access to healthy nature locally
•  
• Where the Church worldwide understands the biblical mandate to care for all of God’s creation as a core part of its mission and manifests this how it treats its land, buildings, investments and other assets.
•  
• Where Christians play their full role, in collaboration with others, to protect and enhance the diversity and abundance of life on Earth, and to restore and maintain the health of our planet’s life sustaining systems
•  
• And where, through Churches and Christians adopting a right relationship with the rest of Creation, others are drawn to a closer, life-giving relationship with our Creator God
