Hello, I'm Vicky. I'm Estates Coordinator at Chichester Cathedral.
00:04
Fantastic, and so obviously you've got lots of volunteers, lots of school children out today planting bulbs.
00:09
What's that in aid of? What's going on?
00:12
Well, we are delighted because we've just received the Golden Eco-Church Award.
00:18
So it's a celebration of the cathedral and to mark this really amazing occasion.
00:25
And I think for you especially, if you're Estates Coordinator, it's a reflection of your hard work and your team's hard work.
00:32
So it seems like a real stamp of approval for the things you do here.
00:36
So it must be especially validating for you, I guess.
00:39
Yes, it has been an incredible effort across so many different communities here at the cathedral.
00:46
So we've all been working really hard and it's amazing to have everybody so hard.
00:53
And it feels like a reflection of all the changes.
00:57
What does it mean to be, you know, what's the importance of the environment to you, to the community here at the cathedral?
01:03
What does it mean to be putting back into ecosystems and I'm going to say the environment again.
01:08
I'm just going to use that word. But you know what I mean, yeah.
01:11
Well, the cathedral is a safe journey. It's something that links with our mission and to care for God's creation.
01:20
And so, you know, it's about supporting nature, which is really under pressure at the moment.
01:28
And also to think about our common good and about future generations and to reduce our impact as an organisation and as a church.
01:38
And what are your role? What does your role involve in that in that respect?
01:42
So you're outside of sort of boulder planting. Like how does how does it all work?
01:46
And what does that look like day to day? Again, if that makes any sense at all?
01:49
Yeah, it does. So we're looking at our attitudes and embedding sustainable principles.
01:55
So when we make choices, we're looking into becoming more sustainable ways of living.
02:02
So that's not just the land. So it could be looking at our borders to improve the plants and increasing nature, increasing biodiversity.
02:13
It's insulation of our buildings. It's using low energy homes.
02:21
And that festival, for instance, uses wire, chicken wire, instead of boat, which is quite a use.
02:33
Yeah, it's looking at all of the different elements of what we do here.
02:37
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
