Transition Buxton is a local group working together to improve our community resilience, particularly in the transition to less fossil fuel dependence.

We have been going since 2008, have approx 160 Members, + 400 on our supporters email list.

We have a dispersed community orchard of over 120 trees.

We run a monthly Repair Café.

We are currently getting a Library of Things up and running.

We do free home energy surveys.

We are proud to have achieved Plastic Free Community status through the City to Sea scheme.

We established Serpentine Community Garden which is now a standalone charity.

We do education outreach work in schools including Youth COP conferences in November each year since 2021.

We work with other groups in our town and Borough to to bring forward local policies and schemes following declaration of a Climate Emergency.
