Vive – where we connect

Join hundreds of community workers, activists and volunteers on our community and climate focused social networking platform. 

While Transition groups are independent and have different local conditions, we often share similar questions and challenges in our work. Vive is a dedicated online space for those working in community-led change — ask questions, exchange ideas and inspiration, and grow together through shared learning and support.

How to use Vive

Vive is organised into themed and regional spaces – so you can be a member of the Food, Energy and North of England spaces at the same time, for example. Growing Transition is for anyone interested in how we do outreach, communications and strengthen our groups. Most spaces are open to all to join, though a few are designed to connect those taking part in a particular project, and just for participants. 

You can follow and connect with other Vive users, and also send direct messages – great for following up for more info on their projects. There’s also a Transition Together space where we share news, events, funding and other opportunities.
