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 were really busy yesterday at our Repair Cafe. As ever, some challenges, some things that were impossible to repair, and some that were an absolute joy and brought tears to our eyes (see crochet blanket photo & related story).
Huge thanks to our wonderful team who work so well together and turn up every month, not quite knowing what they are going to be asked to deal with!
Welcome to the team Alex Rose who is working on a sustainability project as part of his Masters Degree in Product Design at Kingston University. We hope to work with Alex to come up with some useful research, based on the types of repairs we have done at the Repair Cafe, what products we find are frequently not able to be repaired and what ones have a high repair success rate. ...

I am looking fwd to visiting The Repair cafe for the first time next year. It looks brilliant such fabulous volunteers!
How lovely. On day will get down there x
Lovely to see things up and running again, when's the next one? Xx
It’s such a great asset to the town
.... when you have a conversation in the car on the way back from the community allotment about needing a load of woodchip for the muddy pathways and the next thing you know, it's being tipped onto your driveway (after spotting someone chipping a tree at the end of the road)!
Thanks to Rita for helping Al to bag it and to Tracey and Marie for making a great start to spreading it where it's needed most.
Whatever would we do without our very willing band of volunteers. ... See MoreSee Less
