Climate Café
Transition Towns is a global network whose aim is to help society to move away from the consumption of fossil fuels
We raise awareness of the positive impacts of a low carbon lifestyle, advocating for social and economic justice. We build links with other groups across the city in order to collaborate more effectively on key focus areas such as plans for local development and the protection of biodiversity and green space.
We provide advice and support for individuals who want to get involved in environmental/community work. We are currently running a number of projects across the city — we’ve created a solidarity economy map of Liverpool City Region Mersey GNM, sPark It and Climate Cafe’s. There is always more work than there are people so if you want to DO something, come and speak to us – transitionliverpool@gmail.com
With action, comes hope.

About Transition Liverpool
Transition Liverpool is now a Community Interest Company (as of October 2020). Being a CIC has changed our structure slightly but also means we are able to apply for bigger funding bids. All the directors are volunteers and we meet on a monthly basis to discuss our projects and plans moving forward. The local network is growing and we want to work effectively with our time and energy.
If you are interested in volunteering for one of our projects (Mersey GNM, sPark It or Climate Cafe’s) please email Margaret or Bee transitionliverpool@gmail.com
On October 14th we will be holding our Transition Gathering people who are involved in our projects and supporters of our work. We have lined up some keynote speakers, an Open Space event, a market place for networking and a series of workshops. For more information or to get involved please email Margaret or Bee at transitionliverpool@gmail.com
From November 2023 we are relaunching our monthly Transition Cafe where we hold talks, films, socials and share food. if you would like to be involved in this we would love to hear from you. Please let Margaret or Bee know transitionliverpool@gmail.com
