Montmorency Community Group - Statement of Purpose

The Montmorency Community Group operates as a catalyst to bring together residents

and locally-based groups that share a common goal of building a stronger more resilient

local community. It utilises the Transition Town model to help create a community that

is socially, environmentally and economically sustainable, in the face of changes

brought about by climate change and peak oil.

It achieves this through:

  awareness raising activities,

  building strong networks to build an inclusive community,

  undertaking practical projects to reduce our impact on the planet, and

  promoting the well being of local residents.

The Montmorency Community Group is guided by principles of social justice, the

valuing of differences, a respect for all views and personal and community

empowerment, and principles embedded in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

and The Earth Charter.
