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:

Normally our team of volunteers are involved in activities ranging from helping to organise events, baking cakes, distributing posters and leaflets, offering a specialist skill as one of our repairers at the Repair Café, or planting and pruning at one of our Greenspace projects.
If you are interested in volunteering with TTW or you would like to find out more about any of our projects:
We would love to hear from you!

This is a great and valuable way to get involved, to show your support, have your say in our projects and direction and to strengthen our voice in the community.
Membership of Transition Town Worthing is free and open to all who live locally.
TTW has partnered with green energy supplier Ecotricity, who will donate up to £60 to Transition Town Worthing if you choose to switch your energy supply to them.
Terms & conditions apply. Any switches are at your discretion and TTW does not make any recommendations, however we only have arrangements with companies that meet our ethical criteria.
For more information about Ecotricity, please check out their website: https://www.ecotricity.co.uk/
TTW has also been fortunate to have been chosen as one of three local organisations to receive support by Zen in their Community Force for Good campaign.
Please go to https://www.zen.co.uk/worthingdonation if you are thinking of changing your Broadband provider, as they give us a £50 donation for every new customer, if we are chosen as your "cause."
Come along to any of our events or activities and make some connections.
Get involved with one of our projects or groups:
You could create a new project or revive a past project.
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.
These two in particular should be helpful:
