The Oundle Transition Town Group (OTTG) was established to help our local community become less dependent on increasingly pricey fossil fuels, to reduce our carbon footprint and to seek ways to live more sustainably for a brighter, greener future.
Whilst our work is based on traditional values - helping each other, sharing knowledge, pooling skills - our approach looks to the future - exploring ways to do more but use less, embracing new technologies to improve living standards and seeking to protect our environment for future generations.
We have a number of current projects which could help you save money and diminish your carbon footprint.
Energy Assessors - we are training 11 volunteers who will be able to give you a free assessment of your home and suggest ways to improve its energy efficiency.
Oundle Local Exchange- We are putting in place a structure to enable people to offer their time and skills in exchange for other people's. Can you offer your time, is there a job you need doing?
Local Food Suppliers - We have a searchable list of food suppliers who offer food produced within 50 miles of Oundle.
This website can help you to lead a cleaner, greener lifestyle. There are also regular meetings which you would be welcome to attend should you want to play a part in the OTTG yourselves.
Please join us.....many hands make light work!
