Join the Core Group
Want to help guide Transition Chesterfield’s next chapter?
There is one remaining spot on our Core Group — the small team that helps shape our strategy, support project leads, and keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.
What Does the Core Group Do?
Supports project leads and other volunteers
Oversees finances, risk and group-wide events
Holds the “big picture” for Transition’s strategy and values
Connects the dots between projects and partners
The Core Group doesn’t ‘run’ everything. We help to keep it all connected.
Term
The Core Group was appointed at our AGM in August. However, it is open for another person to be co-opted on to the Core Group pending formal approval at the next general meeting. Generally Core Group members serve for a minimum of a year, a maximum of four year terms.
Time Commitment
Attend monthly Core Group meetings (2 hours). Usually a small amount of papers (5-10 pages approx) to review ahead of each meeting. Occasional shared tasks in between (e.g. replying to queries, helping plan a gathering, or welcoming a new volunteer). You only take on what feels manageable — we aim for realistic, shared workload
Who Can Join?
Anyone who cares about what we do. You don’t need experience in chairing, finance, or project management — just curiosity, commitment, and a desire to help. You’ll be supported to find your feet and play to your strengths.
How to Stand for the Core Group
Just email hello@transitionchesterfield.org.uk expressing your interest or chat to one of the current Core Group members at an event or Eco Hub session. We’d love to hear from you.
