WHAT WE DO
Some of our Key Projects
An important part of managing our collective resources responsibly is the adage: Reduce, Reuse, Refill, Repair & Repurpose, Recycle.
The Buxton Library of Things provides affordable access to over 100 useful resources and things that you don’t need to own.
Plastic pollution is evident all around us, blighting our lanes, paths and hedgerows, ending up in waterways and contributing to climate change.
Energy is fundamental to our modern way of life. But energy – specifically fossil fuels – is the main driver of climate change.

Across the UK, communities are coming together to call for a new law that makes businesses accountable - ensuring what we buy doesn’t come at the cost of people or the planet, and that companies can no longer profit from exploitation and violence. ![]()
At the heart of this is a simple but powerful idea: a community declaration. We are proud to publicly show our support for stronger laws on corporate accountability by adding Transition Buxton’s name to a national declaration. By signing, our group is signalling that we support this change and are willing to stand alongside others across the UK calling for it - with opportunities to take further action together throughout the year. ![]()

Spring has sprung and its time to get out in the garden (if you are lucky enough to have one). Our Library of Things has loads of gardening tools that you can borrow for between £1 and £5 per item per week. Browse the inventory on line, register, then once your membership of the Library has been authorised (usually a few hours), reserve the items you want for the dates you neeed them. Collect and return from Buxton Library on Kents Bank Road Mondays 4:30-5:45pm or Saturdays 10-12, or book our optional cargo-bike delivery and collection service. ![]()
