Welcome to Eastleigh Transition Network

Transition is a community-led response to pressures of climate change, fossil fuel depletion and increasingly, economic stagnation. It all starts off when a small collection of motivated individuals within a community come together.

Eastleigh Transition Network aims to support everyone living or working in the Borough of Eastleigh to plan for a ‘transition’ from our current total dependency on fossil fuels – to support our local economies and move towards a more viable and sustainable future. This includes supporting our local producers and businesses.

Please take some time to view the list of our current groups that you may be interested in. If you are interested in starting a group or would like to contact us at all, please emailinfo@etnet.org.uk
