Transition Town Totnes (TTT) was one of the first Transition Towns, ‘unleashing in 2006. We’re a dynamic umbrella organisation consisting of projects operating across the themes of food, housing & energy, transport, the economy, the arts, health & wellbeing, and waste & resources. There are now over 20 local projects, originating from these groups or who have become affiliated with TTT due to common aims and principles. It is self-organising, mainly volunteer operated, and community-led.

In early 2017, we ran a programme of Celebrate events for our 10th anniversary, which launched at our 3rd Film Festival, and included amongst other things Incredible Edible and Transition Homes community events, a REconomy hackathon, a wonderful programme of Earth Stories events led by Inner Transition, the launch of Grown in Totnes milling facilities, along with a TTT Tea Party.
