Ealing Transition Initiative

We manage a Community Garden/allotment, care for a Community Orchard also used as an outdoor classroom by Forest School groups, host a Repair Cafe, a Bee Project (CSA model), host an Air Quality Monitor with Mums for Lungs, facilitate the Solar Schools Project a partnership which has 20 installations so far and received 5 rounds of funding from the Mayor of London, helped found and engage with ActForEaling a community partnership including the Council which works for community engagement, have run around 70 public events, including film showings, talks, reskilling festivals and community planning Open Space events. We took the lead in pressing the Council to declare a Climate Emergency and then help create a Climate Action Plan through community involvement. Currently we are working in partnership with West London University, Ealing Food Partnership and ActForEaling on a programme around sustainable, healthy and accessible food, which has included public events which have enabled us to engage further with local commercial and community cinemas. Most recently we co-hosted a PEB showing and facilitated discussion. We will be offering Transition Walks around our projects in Ealing Climate Week in September.
