Transition Cleeve has been in operation continuously since early 2009. Its geographic scope is the large and expanding community of Bishops Cleeve in north Gloucestershire, plus the surrounding villages of Woodmancote, Southam, Teddington, Oxenton, Gotherington and Stoke Orchard. Over the years, we have run various projects including Warm Homes, Eco Homes, Local Food. We have also held public talks and film screenings, to raise awareness of climate change.

Currently we are managing and expanding a community orchard (https://www.facebook.com/grangefieldcommunityorchard/) and we are launching a monthly Repair Cafe starting in October 2024.

We welcome new members!
