About Us

Transition Crich is a community-led initiative, striving to make the Crich area a more sustainable and enjoyable place to live and work.

About Transition Crich

Transition Crich is a community-led initiative working to create a more sustainable and resilient future for Crich and the planet as a whole. We are part of the Transition Network, a global movement of grassroots groups taking local action to address the climate crisis, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and strengthen community connections.

Our group is made up of passionate local residents, united by a shared goal: to build a thriving, low-carbon community where people and nature can flourish together.

About the Transition Network

The Transition Network is an international movement that began in 2006 in Totnes, UK. It is a movement of communities coming together to reimagine and rebuild our world.

It encourages communities to take local action to tackle global challenges like climate change, resource depletion, and economic instability. Through a grassroots, bottom-up approach, Transition groups focus on practical solutions such as community-led renewable energy, local food initiatives, skill-sharing, and waste reduction. With thousands of groups worldwide, the Transition Network empowers people to create resilient, self-sufficient communities that thrive in harmony with nature.
