Katherine Howlett is a Sustainability and Net Zero specialist with over eight years’ experience supporting organisations on low-carbon, strategy, funding, social impact and collaborative delivery.

 

Katherine's work now focuses on churches and heritage buildings, helping PCCs and clergy navigate Net Zero in a way that is practical, fundable and rooted in community benefit, and she specialises in fabric-first thinking, co-ordinating grant-funded energy audits and feasibility work, and developing phased Net Zero pathways that reduce risk and avoid overwhelm.

​

Katherine works alongside surveyors, engineers and diocesan teams, acting as a calm and trusted point of support for volunteer-led PCCs.

​

Church Net Zero Action Plans has grown out of hands-on project work, including successful funding bids and live deep retrofit thinking. The aim is to roll out and replicate a proven, funder-ready approach nationally, helping churches reduce energy use, cut carbon, and strengthen their role as welcoming, resilient community spaces in support of Net Zero by 2030.​​
