Transition Loughborough

Transition Loughborough Transition Loughborough are part of a global, community driven movement promoting sustainable and eco-aware living.

We are based in the market town of Loughborough, in the east midlands of England. More here: https://transitionnetwork.org/about/ Transition Loughborough aims to help make the town more sustainable and resilient in the face of climate change and rising fuel costs. We're an open organisation made up of volunteers who run a number of projects themed around Energy, Food & Gardens, Transport, Community Hearts & Minds and Skill Sharing. We’re part of a global movement and whilst the Transition movement shares common basic goals, the actual priorities and means to achieve them are driven purely by the desires of the local population. Join in with our events such as Potato Day, seed swaps, repair cafes or apple pressing. We have a community allotment where folk meet and work on Wednesday evenings. Or come to the pay-as-you-can β€˜Utilise Cafe’ at Fearon Hall, a social enterprise partnership diverting edible food that would otherwise head from the supermarkets to landfill, into delicious meals. So if you live in Loughborough and want a say in how the town can respond to the challenges facing all of us we’d love to meet you - please get involved!

Today we had a really good apple pressing outside Fearon Hall, with lots of people bringing apples and helping with cutting up, scratting and pressing. Everyone loved tasting the juice and many bottles were taken away too. All this was in the context of the Heritage Open Days, and it showed that there is a lot of support for community-based events that celebrate the bounty of nature at this time of the year. The weather was kind to us too!
Thanks to everyone who came and helped.

TL are currently applying for funding to run Carbon Literacy courses for communities in Charnwood. We hope to offer the course free or at very low cost to those attending.

If you'd possibly be interested in attending a course we'd be grateful if you could fill out the linked form. This is purely to gauge interest and is not a commitment to attend:

Carbon Literacy is a day's worth of interactive learning about climate change that equips you to reduce emissions in your community and your own life. It covers the science of climate change, impacts, solutions and how we can communicate about climate change with others. You'll leave the course having written two personalised actions for you and your community group/organisation to take and you can apply for a certificate.

The Transition Apple Press was part of a very popular church fete in Sutton Bonnington this afternoon. The weather was kind to us - a light rain started just when we were packing up. The apples from the local community orchard were much riper than in previous years, and the hot summer had left its marks in the garden, but what a lovely venue! The free apple juice was popular too.

We have started the ball rolling to apply for funding to run more of the climate literacy workshops we first ran a few years ago. This would mean places would be heavily subsidised and free for those on low wage. Would be good to gauge demand so please do comment if it would be something you'd be interested in.
