It's official...

The following communities have been officially designated Transition Towns (or cities, districts, villages and even a forest!)

To join them, you'll need to work on the checklist items in the list of criteria. These should tell you whether you're ready to embark on this journey, or whether there are a few initial things left to be done or considered.

We've introduced this slightly more formal approach to registering Transition Initiatives for a couple of key reasons:

* Our trustees and funders want to make sure that while we actively nurture embryonic projects, we only promote to "official" status those communities we feel are ready to move into the awareness raising stage. This status confers additional levels of support such as speakers, trainings, wiki and forums that we're currently rolling out

* In order to establish coordinated programmes (such as combined funding bids to the National Lottery) we need a formally established category of Transition Initiatives that we're fully confident can support and deliver against such programmes

* We've seen at least one community stall because they didn't have the right mindset or a suitable group of people, and didn't really understand what they were letting themselves in for.

There are also quite a lot more communities thinking hard about whether they're ready for this journey.

Who's next...?
