Transition Town Okehampton is two year old and have been running a Repair Cafe on the 3rd Saturday of the month since August last year. The cafe is also a friendly drop in hub where we sell hot snacks, cakes and tea and biscuits.
We also run a parent and toddler group once a week, (from April to October), in Okehampton’s beautiful Community Garden
We are teaming up with young people to deliver Climate Fresk and creative Climate Futures art sessions.
Other projects are on the back boiler but waiting for new enthusiastic volunteers.
