Transition Town Forres er en frivilligt ledet gruppe, der arbejder hen imod en bæredygtig livsstil med lavt kulstofforbrug, baseret i og omkring Forres i det nordøstlige Skotland.

Vi er en af langt over tusind Transition-grupper, der er blevet dannet verden over i de seneste par år som reaktion på de globale udfordringer som klimaforandringer, peak oil og finansiel ustabilitet.

Transition Town Forres was founded in 2008 and is part of the Transition Towns Movement.

We initiate our own projects and we work with other community groups and Social Enterprises, including Moray Waste Busters, Forres Community Woodland Trust, Forres Area Forum, Forres in Bloom, Forres Group Action, Forres Community Council and LETS, among others. We also actively engage with regional partners such as Transition Black Isle, Moray Allotments Association, REAP, Community Food Moray, Moray Food Network and others.

Transition Town Forres is a Company Limited by Guarantee (company number SC346142) and a registered charity (charity number SC040314). Our constitution is here Memorandum and Articles of Association of Transition Town Forres Ltd . Our initial funding was through the Climate Challenge Fund with a remit to lower the carbon emissions in Forres and increase resilience.

Vores vision er et levende og bæredygtigt lokalsamfund med social og økonomisk modstandsdygtighed, der kan imødegå udfordringerne i forbindelse med klimaændringer og udtømning af fossile brændstoffer.

One strategic aim is to encourage and promote health, choice and empowerment for the people of Forres and local community networks, within an ecologically and and ethically grounded framework. You can read more in our Development plan.
