Be a Part of Transition University of St Andrews

Since 2009 our organisation has been at the forefront of grassroots sustainability and climate action in St Andrews. At the heart of what we do is the belief that our community is the starting place to reimagining and rebuilding the world we live in. With this bottom-up approach we run projects and facilitate behaviour change in the areas of sustainable travel, local food, zero waste, and knowledge and skills sharing.

Interested in what we do? Passionate about climate action? Well you’re in the right place. Get in touch and be a part of the movement!

We are really active across facebook, you can contact us via email or phone, sign up to our monthly newsletter or just come along to one of our many events.
