Transition Town Totnes

Taking positive action together in a changing world.

We believe community activism canmake a postive difference to the way we live our lives. Transition is about change, resilience and adaptation in an increasingly hostile world. And our Totnes community is key to shaping the places we love to enable more people and the local environment to thrive.

Check out some current Transition Projects in Totnes

Our projects and groups are ever-changing and evolving, and we always welcome new ideas. Local groups and projects in the Transition Movement are helping communities to be more resilient, from increasing low impact affordable housing, sharing skills, creating livelihoods, reducing energy costs and carbon emissions, growing our local food economy and working in partnership with other local projects.
