About us
We are a small and growing group who have been meeting since February 2009. Our aim is to raise awareness of Transition and the issues involved (ie, peak oil, climate change). We have been given the use of a small council-owned garden space (with polytunnel), and we are intending to expand this into a network of growing spaces and composting projects across the area. In addition, we have had several successful film evenings at Walkley Community Centre.
Making contact with us
We get together most weeks, often at our garden on Hallamgate Road. Please join the mailing list for more information: click here
