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.

Could you do an occasional 2 hour shift in the Library of Things, or help organise our Buxton spring fair stall, or maybe take notes at a meeting, or help look after our dispersed Community Orchard? Whatever your skills there’s something you can do to contribute to our collective resilience and feel part of the solution. ![]()
Email: inspire@transitionbuxton.co.uk or come along our next meeting on 9 April 7:30pm in the lower hall at Buxton Methodist Church.

Our stitched map of Buxton, part of the Made in Buxton project funded by Derbyshire Makes, got underway yesterday. The base layer was created using cyanotype light printing and found or made objects. In a series of workshops over the next couple of months you are invited to add layers, detail, textures and images that help to visually tell the story of our town past and present. For more details see Buxton Crescent Heritage Trust
To make our plan for Buxton Buxton spring fair on 4 May work we need someone with a van to do a local pick up on either Sat 2nd or Sun 3rd, deliver the stuff to our stall in the morning of Mon 4th, then collect anything left at the end at the end of Monday and return the remains to the same local pick up location on Tuesday 5th. We have parking available during the day on 4th, and volunteers to help with the loading / unloading. Alternatively we'd have to do it in several cars which is not our preferred option. If you could help, even if you can't do the return on the 5th (we could probably manage in a car) we'd be ever so grateful for your support. Please email inspire@transitionbuxton.co.uk Obviously we'd be happy to reimburse for any fuel.
