The Framework is designed to support the CoE and CiW in achieving net zero by 2030, and to help communities to provide publicly accessible EV charge points for their residents and visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Believ offers a fully funded solution installing, operating and maintaining charge points of all speeds \u2013 at zero cost to local authorities, landowners or businesses. As a supplier on the framework agreement, Believ will partner with the Parish Buying Service in its mission to reduce its carbon footprint, protect the biodiversity within church grounds and land and help reduce the Church\u2019s impact on the climate emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All churches, schools and village halls with car parks on land owned by the CoE and CiW are able to request EV charging infrastructure support through this tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kevin Ledger, Senior Business Partnerships Manager at Believ, says the CoE and CiW properties sit at the heart of their communities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese organisations are some of the largest landowners in the UK, and so this framework agreement has the potential to accelerate the rollout of much needed publicly accessible charging infrastructure,\u201d he says. \u201cBy installing EV charge points, churchgoers and local residents without off-street parking spaces will now benefit from the possibilities that sustainable motoring can bring them and help us connect rural communities to the EV charging infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
David Richards, Net Zero Carbon Officer for the CoE and CiW Parish Buying Service, says Believ\u2019s fully funded solution is essential: \u201cThrough establishing this framework, we aim to drive awareness of how installing EV charge points can help churches in their journey towards becoming more sustainable, crucially without any capital expenditure, but also introduce them to a new income stream that can derive from a church\u2019s existing parking spaces and land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis new income can then be used to fund further net zero projects. We urge all churches to take advantage of these opportunities to make sustainable changes and tackle the climate crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
