2025 Update

2025  -With just volunteers the website has been neglected for some years. We are in the process of updating it.

Resilient Community
Grey Lynn 2030 is part of the international, grassroots Transition Towns movement. The goal of Transition Towns is to bring people together as communities – to respond to the challenges and opportunities of climate change. Transition Towns works on the belief that communities have within themselves the innovation and ingenuity to create positive solutions to the converging crises of our time. Our communities need to be resilient to manage the climate changes that are now a reality.

Our Vision
Grey Lynn 2030 is a local response  to the ideas of the Transition initiative. Grey Lynn 2030 is participatory community organisation promoting and engaging in building neighbourhood spirit and cooperation while working towards a vision a self –reliant, positive, resilient, vibrant, connected and sustainable community.

Social Media – In recent years we have used social media more than this website. We have a number of active social media pages. It’s best to look there to see our history.

Funding

All our activities are undertaken on a voluntary basis. Previously we had some Dept of Internal Affairs and local government funding for particular projects.

The Grey Lynn 2030 Car Boot Market covers the cost of publicising our events.
