96 fantastic new projects to support community-led change are coming soon, thanks to Transition Together seed funding.
From Byker Mutual Aid creating a social space on a Newcastle estate to Climate cafes across Cornwall, a Footprints Women’s Centre slow food club for families in Belfast to growing citizen science in Monmouth - there are too many highlights to pick from!
Transition groups will start new projects, work with young people and expand local food, enterprises and community spaces where more people can come together to tackle the biggest issues of our time with positive action.
Thanks to generous funding from The National Lottery Community Fund and Lottery players, Transition groups across Wales, England and Northern Ireland will share in £269,500.
We know from past experience that amazing things grow from Transition Together seed funding. Seedfunding coordinator Richard Couldrey said they were faced with many tough choices: “We received nearly half a million pounds of worthy grant applications - it shows the richness of ideas, energy and creativity in the Transition movement right now. We’ll be working hard to secure the resources to offer seed funding again in the future, as we know its reaching into the heart of communities and unlocking real impact.”
We’ll be sharing more stories on our social media of the wonderful things Transition groups are doing to address local issues, connect communities, try new solutions and change their world in the weeks and months ahead. Now the fun begins!
