## TRANSITION TELFORD AGM CHAIRS REPORT 2022 -2023 

My thanks first of all, to my fellow Trustees, for our Treasurer, for our Secretary for their hard work..  Thanks also to everyone who comes to meetings or events or supports us in any way.    Our thanks to the Climate Action Hub for all their work with us and we support the vision and need for the Hub. 

In September 2022, we joined with CAH and the Repair Café for our Harvest Local in Dawley. Venue proved a little quieter than normal, but there was much activity. 

In February 2023 we held the Seed Swap at Hollinswood, again partnering with Repair Café and CAH.  It went very well, covered by Shropshire Radio.  Many seeds were given and received and we continued after the event to reach out and connect with places:  PODS, Wombridge Primary, other people looking to start or revive a community garden. 

May 2023 saw us at Park Lane Woodside, for Grow Local and we had masses of plants and a good crowd.  Many contacts made and conversations had, I believe. 

Those were our three main public events and fundraisers.  They help us raise funds to support work in other areas. 

2022 saw the launch of Shropshire Good Food Partnerships Grow Local initiative, networking community gardens and orchards across Telford and we support Janine in her work. 

We facilitated and paid for Wade Muggleton to run an apple ID day, and later a pruning workshop at Donnington Community orchard. 

We were involved in the making of a SWT video featuring Leegomery Community garden, in case you missed it = = - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v o0QD0V6lHSk&list PLmcvoyrpGm8OdtcZ l2aRXr88IsXBeJ2F&index=11 

We have gone on to get a grant from Safer, Stronger Communities to advance the work in the community garden in Leegomery. 



We had a stall at Leegomery Funday, 2022.  We have hosted a compost workshop from Garden Organic. 

We heard from Craig in December 2022 who is trying to launch an app “Find my lift”. 

August 2023 will see the first Wellington Green Festival, which we have been involved with others, in the planning of.  It promises to be quite exciting. 

We continue to receive this year more invitations to speak or exhibit than we had the capacity to fulfil. In March 2023, we were invited to Walsall, which was snowed off, but went online. 

We are going to work with CAH and PODS in August – a connection made first at Seedy Saturday and then at Grow Local. 

Hollinswood have invited us to an event in October and we will be partnering again with the Repair Café for Harvest Local in September at Woodside 

We are still involved in TWCCP although it seems the restructuring is taking its time. Also the Plastic Free group. Some of us take part in the wider online Transition training 

I would like to pay tribute to James whose work on the website and blogs often goes unseen and his passion for a cycling project.  Also to Rob, who we will be hearing from separately. 

I do apologise if I have forgotten or not mentioned anyone, my head is spinning with all the connecting we are doing! 

Lynn Mann Chair.
