Get Involved
Take a look at what Transition Town Worthing are up to by checking out our events and active projects. If you want to build a stronger community and create more sustainable ways to live, come along and get involved: every individual action can make a difference.
We are a friendly and inclusive bunch of people – always happy to share what we know, and also find out what you can teach us!
There are many ways for you to lend a helping hand, and activities to become involved in, meet others, have fun and share skills.
Anyone can be involved, whatever your interests, skills or experience.
As a volunteer-based group, we depend upon the kind support and involvement of others within the community to help us run, develop, and deliver all our various projects and events.
Our friendly, mixed bunch of volunteers help out with a whole range of projects and anyone is welcome to join in.
In normal circumstances we can offer a range of volunteer opportunities but, due to current restrictions, these are limited right now:

We would be happy to help in any way we can by offering support and guidance and sharing our knowledge, experience and skills.
We are often asked, what difference one person can make, and the answer is that collectively we can move mountains with enough people all working towards the same goal.
Here are some ideas of what you can do to help:
Many of the videos from the Climate Assembly will give you ideas about what we can all do as individuals to help.
