What is Transition?
Transition is a global movement of local, community-led initiatives that helps people become happier and the towns and villages they live in become stronger and more resilient. It's happening in over a 1000 communities across the world. These communities have started up projects in areas such as food, transport, energy, education, waste, arts, etc as small scale, local responses to the challenges of climate change, economic hardship, loss of community, and shrinking supplies of resources.
One of these initiatives is Transition Malvern Hills.
Transition Malvern Hills has had a number of successes in building community and resilience through initiatives such as regular social events, a car club, saving the gas lamps, a garden-share scheme, reskilling workshops, supporting the establishment of The Cube community centre, and providing home energy surveys. These initiatives are helping them strengthen their sense of community locally, make the transition towards a sustainable and fulfilling way of living and so contribute to ensuring the planet that we live on and depend on continues to provide an hospitable home.
