Sustaining Dunbar is for everyone living or working in the Dunbar and East Linton ward of East Lothian. It provides a network to enable people to get together with others who share similar interests and want to work together to plan and start building a sustainable, low-carbon community which is resilient enough to cope with the challenges which we face from climate change, peak oil and global economic instability.
Sustaining Dunbar is a member of the UK wide Transition Network and of Transition Scotland and is also a member of the Development Trust Association Scotland
Sustaining Dunbar is a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee (registered in Scotland no. 351910, Scottish Charity no. SC040106) with membership open to anyone aged 18 or over and resident in the Dunbar and East Linton Ward. Members elect a Board at our AGM in March. Board minutes are available here. Board meetings are normally held on the first Monday of every month (7.30pm in the office above the BeGreen shop) and any member is welcome to attend. These are our annual accounts for 2008/9: SD Accounts09 and 2009/10: SD Accounts 2010
This structure enables us to employ staff and raise funds and has been set up to facilitate and support the work of our various groups and projects, many of which are led by local volunteers. It is in these groups and projects that most of the creativity, energy and activity of Sustaining Dunbar lies. Sustaining Dunbar’s aim is to enable and facilitate, make connections, encourage the free flow of relevant information and generally to do all it can to help everyone get involved in making a vibrant, creative and resilient, low-carbon locality.
Please show your support and become a member. It’s free!
