Transition Ashtead is a group of local people who aim to promote different aspects of sustainability through writing articles in the Local Pages and holding talks and events.  If you are interested in helping to make our village a more sustainable place to live, this is the place for you!  Our mantra is  ‘reduce, recycle, repair, reuse’.

Events 2024

We promoted local community groups, specifically, the Dorking Men’s Shed and the Epsom Repair Café, as engaging people to make the most of their skills and to give us ideas to apply here.  We held two Swapshops enabling people to offload items they no longer use and to acquire ones they would like for free! A free good-quality jumble sale!  In October, a member of the Surrey HEAT Home Energy Advice Team informed us of the grants available for home energy saving and other useful tips. HEAT is an innovative, in-person energy advice service, helping residents take the first steps to tackling energy inefficiency in their homes, funded by the government.
