Esmee Fairbain funding for Transition Lewes facilitator

We’ve heard that our application for £20,000 for funding a part time project facilitator for 18 months was successful. Having someone in the TTL office will free some of us up for some strategic projects in the pipeline. We’re now inviting applications for this exciting post – the deadline is this Thursday 20 December – pass it on.

Designer wanted

We’re also looking for someone to design TTL’s posters and programmes for the coming year or so – perhaps someone who’s starting out in design or an established designer who hasn’t been able to help yet. Please contact the office if you can spare an (unpaid) hour or so a fortnight.

and a programme of events for the new year...

We’ve worked hard this year and we’ve enjoyed ourselves. And with an engaging programme for the new year now at the printers, we’re taking a well-earned break. All that remains is to say thank you to the many volunteers who have pulled off Transition Town Lewes so far, and we look forward to continuing the Transition adventure ahead together. Happy Christmas!
