A big thank you to all who invested in the Schools Energy Co-operative share offer in November. Together we beat the government-imposed deadline and the Co-op managed to raise the full £700,000 in two weeks! 

This is a great result for local community-owned energy, both reducing carbon emissions and also giving local schools reduced electricity bills. Ealing Transition will now be working with SEC and Ealing Council to install solar panels on shortlisted schools. We will keep you updated as the project develops. 

A big thank you to everyone who participated in the local Greenredeem scheme and donated points to Ealing Transition to buy more trees and bushes for its community orchard at Lammas Park Enclosure. We are delighted to announce that we have now reached our target of £1000 and are excited about using this money to expand the orchard.

Ealing’s locally sourced ethical veg box scheme, Edible Ealing, has been operated by the same group of volunteers for the past four years. Despite gaining a huge amount from the experience the volunteers feel it is time to hand over the reins to a new group or individual who can move the scheme on to its next incarnation.

The work involves sourcing, growing, selecting, ordering and marketing a profitable sustainable organic whole food business. You are also helping the community to look at food in a new and exciting way, and enabling a move away from processed supermarket produce towards locally sourced foodstuffs and vegetables.

 We currently operate fortnightly so the time commitment is approx. 3/4 days over a 14 day period. If you feel you can commit to ordering, packing, accounting and marketing this exciting project please contact us by email or visit Edible Ealing Box Scheme for more information.
