Exploring how to shift control back to communities
In the aftermath of the Brexit vote, more than 200 organisations came together at CTRLshift summits, to look at new ways to collaborate, connect and build a broad movement for positive social change. It sparked five local experiments in innovative ways to build community power. We speak to those involved about their impact and what’s been learnt about how change happens - and share an invitation to join a fresh round of prototypes.

The Story of our Second Year
A year ago, we looked back on the activity and impact of Transition Together. As upsetting and traumatic events are all too present in the world and in our minds, it feels important to look back again over the year just gone, to take stock, celebrate what’s gone well and renew our intentions to focus on the work that is yet to be completed.

Apple Abundance in Chesterfield
At this time of the year, many Transition groups gather apples that wouldn’t otherwise be harvested, and make sure they can be eaten and enjoyed.
Transition Chesterfield set up their Abundance Project when they noticed some of the autumn bounty in their area was shrivelling and going to waste.
