Transition Glut evening

The Transition Worcester Food Group are organising a “glut” cookery evening with Bromsgrove chef Anita Sharma-James on Saturday 15th October.

The event will involve bringing your surplus homegrown or local veg, watching and helping Anita turn them into delicious Indian-inspired vegetarian dishes, and sharing an informal meal.

The evening will be free, with any donations going towards room hire.

The venue is provisionally the Blakefield Room at St. John-in-Bedwardine Church, St. Johns, between 5:30 and 8:30 pm.

If this event is for you, please let Transition Worcester know by the evening of Monday 3rd October, so that they can confirm the room booking!

Survival Skills

Switch it Off!

The Big Switch Off is this Friday- the 23rd September- between 16.30 and 18.30 when we can all make a combined effort to switch off those unused electrical items and see how much energy we can save. Western Power Distribution will be monitoring the switch off and in previous years there has been a 2.8% reduction in electricity consumption.

Switching off not only reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions but can also save you money!
