This month we’re celebrating Transition Town Reading, a thriving group that’s been taking action and forging incredible partnerships throughout the town since 2009. Over the past the past 3 years the group has seen multiple spin-out projects flourishing, including a Repair Cafe, a Library of Things, and the Reading Community Energy Society. They have also built some great partnerships with the local council and University of Reading, helping to establish the incredible Reading Hydro, a microhydro electricity generating station that powers the local lido. 

With over 1,000 attendees at TTR events in the past year, the group has recently commissioned a new film to highlight their successes and inspire further action. The film will be screened at their local independent cinema - and we look forward to watching it too!

Reading Hydro was featured as part of the Running Out of Time relay, linking COP26 to COP27.

And Finally . .   We leave you with some wonderful words of wisdom from Transition Town Reading -

 

“It is members of the community, people, who are the force of change. By our own hands, hearts and minds, we make things happen. We can begin to shape our future, ourselves, and not just accept what governments may decide for us, or the prevailing paradigm throws our way. Transition needs local people to get involved, lots of us – we can all help to build the story of our future, then act together to make it real. We do this for ourselves, for our children, and for our children’s children, who will inherit our Earth."
