South Lakes Action on Climate Change was launched at Kendal Town Hall on 13 March 2007. The meeting followed a visit by Ricardo Navarro the previous month as part of a national tour organised by the World Development Movement.

In 2009 SLACC merged with Transition South Lakes to form one group called South Lakes Action on Climate Change Towards Transition.

During this time we been involved in a wide variety of campaigns, protests and local climate change projects. If you want to help us build a positive sustainable future then please come to one of our meetings or get in touch. We are always in need of volunteers and helpers.

Our Aims

The key aims of SLACC Towards Transition are as follows:

  1. To increase awareness of local and global issues surrounding Climate Change and Peak Oil.

  2. To reduce South Lakeland's overall Green House Gas emissions and dependence on Fossil Fuels.

  3. To establish and support South Lakeland as a Transition District.

  4. To take every reasonable step to minimise the Green House Gas emissions resulting from the groups' activities.

To find out what we are currently doing, visit the Projects page.

Members of SLACC Towards Transition meet every three months in March, June, September and December, usually on the second Thursday of the month, 7:30 at the Castle St Centre in Kendal. Anyone interested is welcome to attend these meetings. In between these seasonal meetings are a variety of planning meetings related to our various projects and campaigns. For more details of these please get in touch through the Contact Us page.
