Welcome to the Transition Chichester website

Check out the latest issue of our inspiring newsletter

We’re a group of people based in Chichester who have an interest in the environment, food, energy, the economy. We’re concerned by the depletion of our natural resources, the loss in biodiversity and our future food security. We want to make changes at a local level to help us face the challenges of Peak Oil and Climate Change.

We believe change is inevitable. We need to plan for it together and build a strong, resilient community.

Transition Chichester is a wholly independent organisation, not affiliated to any political party nor any commercial interests.

What is Transition?

Transition Chichester belongs to the Transition Network - one of the fastest growing social movements in recent history. Transition towns are springing up all over the country and the movement is spreading worldwide.

Transition is based on the assumption that unless we take action, catastrophic environmental degradation is inevitable. Yet with foresight and planning, we can mitigate the problems and make a transition to a more sustainable lifestyle.

In Transition Chichester we want to strengthen our community by changing the way it works. Like-minded people are working together on exciting projects: a local currency, garden sharing, tree-planting, renewable energy, a swap-shop to promote re-cycling and re-using. We meet regularly to discuss, plan and socialise.
