Penrith Action for Community Transition (PACT) is part of the global Transition Town Network, aiming to tackle the issues of fossil fuel use, climate change and economic sustainability within its community. The group is made up of volunteers who really want to make a difference in their area and bring about a more sustainable way of life.

The group is currently engaging on issues such as energy, food, building, education, transport, waste and recycling and health and wellbeing. Current campaigns focus on reducing plastic usage, aiming to cut out single-use plastics in Eden. The group has set up a water bottle refill scheme in the area, started lobbying supermarkets and manufacturers to remove plastic from their products, added their voices to national and international campaigns and got in touch with local event organisers to initiate a code of best practice on plastic for events.

The group is also very much involved in community gardening projects, encouraging local people to grow their own vegetables through knowledge and skill sharing. They also run regular gardening sessions around Penrith, creating and caring for its green spaces.
