Marsden and Slaithwaite Transition Towns

Welcome to the home of Marsden & Slaithwaite Transition Towns (MASTT). We are a community-led group who are taking proactive steps to deal with the twin threats of Peak Oil and Climate Change.

We are attempting to act as a community to build resilience through various activities and projects, we also need your input through online discussions, meetings and by you sharing your ideas with us. It’s not about living with less – it’s about increasing your quality of life while decreasing your dependence on money, fossil fuels and consumerism

Everyone is more than welcome to become involved with MASTT. You can start or join in with a conversation on the discussion forum, and we have 2 meetings each month in Marsden & Slaithwaite that everyone can attend, check out the Upcoming Events on the left of this page for dates.
