Welcome to Transition Horsham
Transition Horsham is a new initiative by a group of local volunteers to encourage a grassroots response to the challenges of Climate Change and Peak Oil. We aim to raise local awareness of the issues and explore the practical steps we can take now to address them in our community.
Come along on Wednesday, September 15th, 2010, from 7.30 pm (drop in when you like) to
The Crown in The Carfax for an evening of networking and chat about climate change, peak oil, the environment, living in a sustainable way and all that sort of thing!

Thursday, 30th September 2010, 7.45pm
at Friends Meeting House, Worthing Road, Horsham, RH12 1SL.
Because of holidays we will not be holding our normal monthly meeting in August.
We believe change is inevitable and it is better to plan for it together and to build resilience.
We have joined a fast growing Transition Network which began with the first initiative in Totnes in 2005 and has now spread to 185 official communities with a thousand expressing an interest around the world (both as of June 2009).
We want to develop this website into a useful shared resource and welcome interesting contributions and ideas. The righthand column has topical links which change regularly, but the links will then usually be moved to the Resources page if you want to find them again. The Programme page contains details of local events including any groups with similar aims. The Projects page outlines the current projects you can get involved with.
We hope you enjoy browsing this site. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact us and we will keep you informed of events and let you know how you can participate.
'The Transition concept is one of the big ideas of our time ... What I love about the Transition approach is that it is inspirational, harnessing hope instead of guilt and optimism instead of fear'
Patrick Holden, Director of the Soil Association
Stitch-up event
A "Stitch-up" event took place on Saturday, July 24th, 2010 between 10am and 1pm at Friends Meeting House. It was organised jointly by Transition Horsham and the Oxfam Shop, Horsham.
In coming years, as the world's population grows and resources become scarcer, we will need to learn to more with less. One way to do this is to give our clothes a new lease of life rather than throwing them away when they become slightly worn or unfashionable. Sewing skills will become more valuable as time goes on. This event was to encourage people to discover or rediscover the joys of sewing, knitting and crocheting. A steady stream of visitors came to talk to and learn from experienced practitioners - and also to partake in the delicious refreshments.
