Welcome to Transition Horsham
Transition Horsham is a new initiative by a group of local volunteers to encourage a grassroots response to the challenges of Climate Change and Peak Oil. We aim to raise local awareness of the issues and explore the practical steps we can take now to address them in our community.
Come along on Wednesday,
March 18th, 2010, from 7.30 pm (drop in when you like) to
The Crown in The Carfax for an evening of networking and chat about climate change, peak oil, the environment, living in a sustainable way and all that sort of thing!

We believe change is inevitable and it is better to plan for it together and to build resilience.
We have joined a fast growing Transition Network which began with the first initiative in Totnes in 2005 and has now spread to 185 official communities with a thousand expressing an interest around the world (both as of June 2009).
We want to develop this website into a useful shared resource and welcome interesting contributions and ideas. The righthand column has topical links which change regularly, but the links will then usually be moved to the Resources page if you want to find them again. The Programme page contains details of local events including any groups with similar aims. The Projects page outlines the current projects you can get involved with.
We hope you enjoy browsing this site. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact us and we will keep you informed of events and let you know how you can participate.
'The Transition concept is one of the big ideas of our time ... What I love about the Transition approach is that it is inspirational, harnessing hope instead of guilt and optimism instead of fear'
Patrick Holden, Director of the Soil Association
Transitioners help launch Greening Horsham
Horsham Transitioners played a big part in the launch event of Greening Horsham on Saturday, March 6th, 2010. The Transition Horsham stand featured bicycle powered lighting (to give people a feel for what energy really means), a demonstration of the importance of cavity wall insulation and a give-away of seeds left over from the Seedy Saturday event of the previous month.
Seedy Saturday
February 13th 2010, was an occasion for vegetable growers to get together to swap seeds, knowledge and ideas. Apart from Transition Horsham, there were also displays from Horsham Organic Gardeners Society, Horsham Museum and The Millenium Seed Bank at Wakehurst - along with second hand books, newspaper pots, delicious home-made refreshments and a steady stream of visitors.
