Welcome to Transition Town Rugby!
*** We are currently working on launching a town centre 'Eco Hub' for sustainable living and community wealth building in Rugby Town Centre! ***
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
You can read our group's full vision for Rugby and our aims here.

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.

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, come along to our next meeting or get in touch. 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.
