What we do
Crystal Palace Transition Town is all about getting stuck in - it's the power of doing stuff that motivates us. Here we introduce our groups and the growing number of successful projects we run. There are over 1,000 people involved in one way or another; find out more, see what takes your fancy, then get involved!
p.s. Keep an eye on our social media for new projects as they often spring up quickly :)
