We are Closed!

The ALT Group was founded in 2015 and together we created some amazing changes in Consett during the five years we were active. Our intentions were bold, our impact was felt and the changes were tangible. Unable to continue given the current political, social and economic situations we have parted ways to follow our own personal persuits of happiness.

ALT NEWS blog contains information about or acievements and projects.

ALT LIFE is a blog containing all the shared content we created over our active period.

From this point the website has been kept as it was last published in order to provide information on our previous projects and share the experince we gained. As much of our work was funded by communal funds or public money we feel it is only right and fair we honor the effort and achievements this community of local people managed to make in such a short period of time.

What we did...

 The ALT Group is a Community Interest Company created by the local Community to create change in Consett, County Durham and You are invited to be part of it.
We are adaptagens for change and do what we need in order to reconnect our Community to each other and our environment.
We design systems, create projects, host spaces and bring people together.

A group of local activists with a big idea started The ALT Group.

We want to find solutions that help people practically in the short term while creating systems to support people for the long term.

  • Tired of seeing our environment suffer due to political decisions made over our heads.
  • Sick of seeing our friends and family unwell with no alternatives to whole health and wellness.
  • Fed up of seeing scrimping and saving and struggling to pay bills while the richest in our country grow richer at our expense.
 The ALT Group are friendly, local people, just like you, who band together to offer community activities based around food and our environment. We currently have two active projects, Blackhill Club Community Garden and Hamsterley & Low Westwood Community Centre Transform and we support two other food based initives; Consett Community Fridge and Community Meals in Blackhill, and Consett.

We know that because you have been draw to us, you are interested in creating positive and lasting changes in your community the benefit everyone.

We are designing and developing more systems of connection and empowerment based around meeting your needs. We are open to working with anyone and everyone in our community in order to reach our social and environmental goals. Feel free to get in touch and get involved.

Please take a minute to stay and find out more about what we do.
