How to get involved…

We want as many people as possible to get involved in Transition, and for everyone to find something that brings enjoyment and satisfaction. Here are some of the ways you can take part in this fascinating and important exploration….We’d like to find out more about your own interests and skills and help you figure out where to start. Here’s the current list of things you can get involved with…

-

If you have a special interest or passion:

• Join and get involved with one or more of the Local Projects listed above
• Start a new theme group or project – email us for more help: info(at)transitiontowndorchester(dot)org

If you have time:

• Help out with office admin, communications, press releases, co-ordinating events, etc
• Help out at events, tea & biscuits, gathering peoples details for mailing lists, etc
• Offer your skills – (too many to list here)…creative stuff, media & promotion, giving presentations, talking to people about Transition, distributing flyers, running film nights, gardening, bicycle repairs etc

If you have something material to give:

• Support us financially (we’re not for profit but still need finances for lots of things)
• Donate something useful – eg, tea bags, a venue to hold events, cake!

If there’s something you want:

• Have a look at the projects and see if there’s one that’s relevant. For instance, if you want access to a car you might like to join the Car Club; or join the Garden Share project if you want to grow something and have no garden

If you want to find out more:

• Come to an event – you can see our events (and lots of other great events) by clicking on the Events Calendar. There are regular talks, workshops, discussions, bike rides, tree plantings and all kinds of other things
• For an informal introduction to Transition, or just to keep up to date, come to our regular Green Drinks
