The HiT Alliance      

The Herefordshire in Transition Alliance is a coalition of the county's local Transition Town and environment groups, individuals and other organisations. Our purpose is to foster partnerships and joint efforts which strengthen the sustainability of our communities.

We are mutually supportive and inspirational!

If and when we become a lightly constituted, not-for-profit organisation our aims will be:

• To encourage creative responses to the challenges of Climate Change and resource depletion, which provide opportunities for making better ways of life, locally and globally.
•  To identify, share information about and raise awareness of, issues arising from the aim of the Association which provide us with opportunities for positive ways to affect change.
• To provide educational and other resources that will inform and encourage individuals and organisations to improve their resilience to the effects of these issues.
• To promote, encourage and support individuals and organisations undertaking activities that help the local community to progress towards a more sustainable way of life.
• To identify and support individuals and organisations within the local area who will be especially vulnerable to the effects of these issues.
• To work with the Transition Towns Network and other organisations to research and develop alternative solutions to mitigate the effects of these issues.

We recognise that:

• Creative responses to the challenges of Climate Change and resource depletion (Peak Oil etc) provide us with opportunities for creating better ways of life.
• People coming together - to share their concerns, ideas and efforts - is a positive way to affect change.

Together we...

• Collaborate at a grassroots and strategic levels with a view to furthering our common purpose.
• Share information about positive alternatives to our unsustainable lifestyles.Provide meeting spaces in support of the activities of member groups and act as a hub for resource sharing.
• Create opportunities for grant making, public presentations and combined events, technical information sharing etc.
• Create a stronger voice by speaking on areas of common interest and concern of member groups.
