Greener Hassocks and Ditchling (formally HKD Transition) are holding an exciting launch event coinciding with Hassocks' monthly market and our fantastic Repair Cafe, and the Ditchling and Hurstpierpoint bike swarms.

Please join us at our new 'pop-up climate and community hub', (kindly borrowed for the morning from Duncan) at BN6 Craft Beer and Tap, 54 Keymer Road. HKD Transition has been running since 2009, doing excellent work in our local villages to get people growing, mitigate flooding and to improve our local environment. Not-for-profit offshoot HKD Energy has also created impressive local renewable energy projects.

We have recently welcomed lots of new people to the group and are building on the new enthusiasm and ideas they have brought with a new name that is easy to recognise and clearly shows what we do - with a fresh focus on Hassocks and Ditchling, alongside our sister organisation, Hurst Rethink.

Come along and find out about the wonderful things going on in our community to help tackle the climate and ecological crisis, to bring our community together, and to make our villages greener.

There will be tea and homemade cakes as well as news from our groups working on local issues around food and growing, energy, biodiversity, flood prevention, youth and community.
