Welcome to Transition Town Rugby!

Rugby Eco Hub is now open, and includes a Library of Things, Rugby Unwrapped, Repair Cafe, and lots more - see the website for the latest news and updates

We are a community-led group started in June 2019, focused on the idea of providing a sustainable future for the town we call home. Transition Towns are a movement started in Totnes in 2006, which aim to:

strengthen the local economy
reduce our environmental impact
build our resilience for a future with less cheap energy and a changing climate

What are we doing?

We have a number of ongoing projects and regular events which you can find more about by exploring our Groups and Events pages, and also by coming along to one of our meetings.

You can also find out what we've been doing most recently on our Latest news page.

We need your help!

Although we have big ambitions, we’re still a small group and we're always seeking new people to join us. You can support us by signing up to our mailing list and keeping in touch with our regular activities. Even better, if there’s something you think you’d like to improve about our town and you don’t want to wait for the council or the government to do it, get in touch by emailing rugbytransitiontown@gmail.com. Become a member to get involved regularly as part of the team!

We also want to improve community links as much as possible. Rugby is full of amazing groups who do inspirational work every day – if you’re part of a group and would like some help with a project, or want to find links with other organisations, get in touch.
