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.

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.

Hugelkultur, pronounced Hoo-gul-culture, means hill culture or hill mound. We call them Huggies down in Carondelet.
Instead of putting branches, leaves and grass clippings in bags by the curbside for the bin men... build a hugel bed. Simply mound logs, branches, leaves, grass clippings, straw, cardboard, petroleum-free newspaper, manure, compost or whatever other biomass you have available, top with soil and plant your veggies.
The advantages of a hugel bed are many, including:
The gradual decay of wood is a consistent source of long-term nutrients for the plants. A large bed might give out a constant supply of nutrients for 20 years (or even longer if you use only hardwoods). The composting wood also generates heat which should extend the growing season.
Soil aeration increases as those branches and logs break down... meaning the bed will be no till, long term.
The logs and branches act like a sponge. Rainwater is stored and then released during drier times. Actually you may never need to water your hugel bed again after the first year (except during long term droughts).
On a sod lawn we recommend cutting out the sod, digging a one foot deep trench and filling the trench with logs and branches. Then cover the logs with the upside down turf. On top of the turf add grass clippings, seaweed, compost, aged manure, straw, green leaves, mulch, etc...
This one here is a Garlic " Huggie " located in the Forest Park area of St. Louis. ... See MoreSee Less
