Volunteer With Us
Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community while learning new skills and meeting new people. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved with Transition Linlithgow wherever your interests lie.
Transition Linlithgow is by its very nature a local organisation which is enhanced by the people who participate in it. We benefit a great deal from those who volunteer their time and skills with us and in return we hope that we give some benefit back, whether that's re-connecting with others, learning new skills or developing experiences for your CV.

Journalism Linlithgow is fortunate to have so many local outlets to spread all the great work done within the town. We need people to help us write articles and press releases to tell the local community what we can do for them.

Tree PlantingThrough our partnerships with Beecraigs Country Park and Burgh Beautiful we have lots of tree planting opportunities throughout the year.
Tree planting is a great way to re-wild our green spaces and absorb carbon emissions. |
GardeningOur Gardening Group works in partnership with Burgh Beautiful on projects such as the Vennel Bed and the Linlithgow Community Orchard.
We have recently started a new project with The Donaldson Trust and Sainsbury's Linlithgow Bridge to develop a kitchen garden in the grounds of Donaldson's School. Get in touch to see how you can help. |
CampaigningWe run a number of campaigns to raise awareness about specific issues within the town and about climate change in general. Our Plastic Free Linlithgow group has done great work to combat single use plastic in the town.
If you have an environmental issue you feel strongly about then get in touch to see if we are able to support you. |
Young PeopleThere are stories in the news every day about how young people are leading the way in changing attitudes towards climate change. Transition Linlithgow are passionate about helping the young people of Linlithgow do more to tackle climate change in their local community. If you're a young person with an idea contact us to see how we can support you.

Support Us
There are many ways which you can support Transition Linlithgow beyond volunteering.
Donate ToolsWe are always happy to accept donations for the Transition Linlithgow Tool Library. Our group of volunteers work to refurbish and maintain our tools to make them available for the local community.
Tools can be dropped off at our office during office hours or through prior arrangement. |
Give MoneyWe are fortunate enough to be funded by the Climate Challenge Fund until March 2020. However, as with many charities, we are dependent on a mix of grant funding, fundraising and donations.
Your donations allow us to continue our work to tackle climate change in the community. A link to donate to our PayPal can be found here or find it below. |
Work With UsWe are always looking to work closely with other community groups, charities and members of the community. If you are interested in running a workshop or teaching a class then get in touch.
We are also currently recruiting for a treasurer to join our board of trustees. If you have relevant experience and would like to know more please contact us. |
