We are an enthusiastic active group of volunteers based in the fabulous village of Kings Cliffe, Northants. We’re passionate about protecting our planet, here’s a bit more information about what we’re up to.

• 运输集团： Monthly Bikefix workshops; Local bike ride leaflets; Generally encouraging our community to walk or use their bikes rather than jump into the car for short journeys.
• 食物类别： Pytchell 的社区果园；为不能或不想管理全面积或半面积配给地的人创建迷你配给地的配给地项目。我们一群人成立了一个道德食品购买合作社。我们鼓励人们尽量减少包装，并尽可能重新装满容器。
• Wildplaces 集团： Kings Cliffe is very lucky to be set in a large area of wonderful countryside. We have many sites recognised for their high value for nature and biodiversity and our Wildplaces Group was set up not only to manage these areas for the wildlife, but also to encourage villagers to get out and enjoy them. We run regular volunteer work parties to manage these areas and keep them open to visitors, and always welcome new volunteers. We also organise guided walks where we explore our wild places, and discover interesting plants, animals, birds and insects. We campaign ardently to protect biodiverse land within our village boundary and beyond, which can be a real battle sometimes. We have a fair bit of experience doing that now.  We also work hard to encourage and promote biodiversity wherever we can.
• 家庭能源集团： 该小组成立于 2023 年，旨在研究如何帮助人们使用绿色能源、提高能效并节省资金。由于时间和资源的限制，到目前为止还没有重大进展，目前可能更多的是开展教育活动。我们有一台热成像仪，人们可以借用它来测量家中的热损失。
• 活动 Thus far we have run two series of talks (July 2023 and June 2025), both encouraging people to garden in a more environmentally friendly way. The talks were very well received so we plan to run further events covering different topics. The 2025 talks were so interesting, with lots of ideas about how we can all make our gardens kinder to the planet. The materials we use, the plants we grow, the way we use and conserve water, the health of our soil. We also run climate cafes periodically, usually by turning up at existing cafes in the village to provide information and conversation. Plus in 2022 we ran a Carbon Literacy workshop hosted by Jen Gale, very useful and informative and now some of us are qualified carbon literate! We plan on running another series of talks in 2026.
• 交流与提高认识： We write an article about our Transition activities every month in the village gazette. We have designed and printed an information brochure that has been posted through people’s doors and is made available at any events we run. We have a website, which is updated quarterly, and a very active Facebook page.

• If we have the resource we would like to expand the Home Energy Group activity to look at local energy schemes, for example.
• Further events and talks.
• It is possible that The Pytchell, an area of community-owned land where we already manage a community orchard, will become available in it’s entirety. If so, we will propose that we manage the whole space as a community garden and quiet space. Focus will be community growing and biodiversity.
