Bringing the community together, one street at a time.

Transition Streets is an award-winning project that brings neighbours together. It creates more caring, more sharing and more connected streets and helps people reduce their carbon footprint and cost of living through taking practical action together.

We are running Crowdfund appeal to continue and roll out the project across the UK.

How does Transition Streets work?

To take part, you and your neighbours form a group of 6-8 households.

You meet together over a few months to explore a range of topics including: Energy, Food, Travel, Water and Resource Use .
Homes reduce their carbon footprint and cut their household bills by taking simple actions.

Connections are formed, friendships are made, more sharing takes place and all sorts of unexpected, wonderful things arise.

What wonderful things could you and your neighbours do together?

Taking part in Transition Streets supports you to imagine and create other ways that you can make your street a more caring, sharing, greener place to live.

"The outstanding benefit that we have all enjoyed about Transition Streets has been to feel community- some us for the first time; to know our neighbours; to feel part of a greater whole; to feel connected."
