Communities are feeling the impacts of exploitative systems driving ecological, climate and social breakdown. Housing is poorly insulated and unaffordable. Wildlife numbers are plummeting. Food is becoming harder to grow. Energy will become even more expensive and extreme weather events will only exacerbate it. There’s a clear need for a radical transformation of our systems in light of the polycrises we face. We need fairer economies, restored ecosystems, and just social structures.

Transition Town Totnes works by empowering over a dozen local projects to think globally while acting locally, with the goal of benefiting our community, economy, and ecosystems. By offering resources, skills, and connections, we support initiatives that drive positive change, fostering economic, environmental, and social shifts that build local resilience. Drawing on 20 years of experience, we are equipped to guide and inspire the next phase of transformative action in our community.
