A day of local events offering a positive slant supporting the Global Climate Strike. People of all ages welcome to drop in as you wish!
Café Transition 
Café Transition is a place where ideas to facilitate transition to a more sustainable world can be explored in a relaxed and friendly environment. Café Transition aims to listen, learn, discuss…then do! The events are roughly every 4-6 weeks, and have been held at the Torrs Butterfly House Café at 8pm on a Thursday following the Food Hub. Check out forthcoming events on the Café Transition Facebook page.
