– To raise awareness of the Transition model and its aims of community-scale energy descent and resilience.
– To involve more members of our diverse community in Transition.
– Increase the quantity of food grown and gathered in Dartmouth Park
– Reduce waste of food growing locally.
– Increase the number of local residents using basic home energy efficiency measures
– Increase biodiversity in the area

Strategy:
– We will create connections and partnerships with local hubs, including Brookfield, Highgate Newtown Community Centre, Highgate Library, schools, meeting spaces and the estates and streets we live in.
–  We will offer examples of low-impact living and a more resilient community through establishing several practical projects.
– We will locate our projects in spaces which are used daily by a diverse range of local residents, and actively encourage their involvement in and ownership of the projects.
– We will promote our projects through relevant public events. Where possible events will be held in partnership with established local organisations.
