Our Steering Group is open to people interested in working with the community to find local solutions to the issues of climate change and peak oil. Sounds like a bit much at first:)? No worries, we will help you get clued up and skilled up in a supportive environment. We are no experts but local people on a journey. Volunteer a few minutes here and there. Here are a few other bits we could use help with.
The core group members are already busy on the Southend-on-Sea in Transition project. We can only do as much in our spare time so if you want more projects happening come and support us and you might feel the positive feeling associated with working with and for the community.

If you have a small garden, very little time, no gardening skills, a reduced housekeeping budget and a wish to eat more healthily, come along and meet Cicely Morris.
Cicely is the South Essex Ambassador for Send a Cow, a charity that is successfully solving poverty in Africa by practical gardening methods, upheld by teaching and support. Cicely’s talk will include how to construct and maintain both keyhole kitchen gardens and sack gardens, showing how easily and sustainable these methods are, and how small spaces can be used effectively.
Coaching for Communities is looking for 200 volunteers. Get free training, grow and contribute. Get in contact with Lucy and Chris
