South Lakes Action on Climate Change – Towards Transition is a merging of two groups, South Lakes Action on Climate Change and Transition South Lakes. The two groups merged in 2009 in order to more effectively work at building a resilient and fossil fuel free future for South Lakeland. The core aims of the group are as follows:
The groups achieve these aims by a mixture of community projects, awareness raising, campaigning and regular events. Recent notable activities include registering a formal statement of opposition and protesting a proposed Cumbria coal mine, an e-cargo bike trial, running the Kendal Community Food Larder and Kendal People’s Cafe, running an anti-fracking campaign, campaigning for divestment, and organising and Energy Saving Fair.
