There is no set committee or body that organises the Earth Caf&eacute, but a few people who organise when and where it may be held. Once a venue has been sorted, advertising for volunteers is carried out to ensure there will enough people to support the event.

As flexible as this is, there is a dependence on the art of acquiring staff.

There are a few people, without who's regular contribution, the Earth Caf&eacute, would flounder.

They are Adriana, Clare, Michal and Sharon. Their may be others that I have not included.

The Earth Cafe is covered by a comprehensive insurance policy provided through NatureSave of Totnes. The funding of which was provided by Plymouth Environment Centre.

If you would like to assist in setting up a venue or volunteering for an event please contact one of the following.

Committee members as mentioned do a number of basic function, providing venue, advertising, sourcing support, food preparation and pre event setup of the location with suitable theme, information and most often some musical entertainment. To help with any of these please contact either Michal or Sharon.

If you can help with advertising via email and cajoling 'volunteers' for the day, please contact Sharon.

To help with the theme, posters, leafleting and campaign offshoots please contact Adriana.

If you would like to help with food contact Michal on 01822 832815
