Reskilling is a new category in our calendar where you will be able to find courses for you to enroll on in order to learn new skills.  To make things easier to navigate we have also colour coded event categories, eg reskilling events are in pink.

To view just reskilling events select the "Reskilling" button in the "General Information" Menu.  If you want to look at all events you should choose the "Calendar" button on the top navigation line.

To get you started we have added some courses being run by DCC.  There are some self build courses, and a some woodland management courses.

If you have any courses you would like to advertise then you should contact the Transition Matlock Secretary through the contacts page.

Matlock’s entry in the East Midlands in Bloom competition this summer was boosted by the efforts of Transition Matlock’s members.  In recent years an increasing number of points have been awarded to competition entrants for sustainability and biodiversity, so it is hoped that this year Matlock will score well in this respect.

Sunday 5th July was originally going to be the date of Transition Matlock’s final Food Workshop (brainchild of Heather, Mum and Dad) of the season, but then Dad had the brilliant (did somebody say “insane”?) idea of turning it into a full-blown celebration of the past year’s achievements, open to any TM supporters who could drag themselves away from the tennis… And thus Lazy Sunday Afternoon was born! It was held at Fairfield Nursery Cottage (our property) and was, it has to be said, a big success.

Many people in Matlock and the surrounding areas have gardens or areas of land that are unused due to a lack of time, interest, or physical mobility. At the same time there are many people who have no access to a garden, and who would love the chance to grow their own food, herbs and flowers.
