All circles
Welcome to the Do-ocracy!
Arts
About this circle
We're the team that hold the budget for the Grants and coordinate the creation of the wonderful art installations, decor and creative projects you'll see at Nest.
We want your ideas and your help! If you have a flair for decorating and some ideas on how to best use our Glade to its full potential as part of the Arts Circle, get in touch.
Communications
About this circle
Our comms circle is vital in transmitting information from Nestlings to the core organising team and from the core team to Nestlings. If you have an interesting in social media, marketing, customer service or creative writing, we want you for our Comms Circle. Experience of WordPress and Mailchimp would be great, but enthusiasm and the ability to learn are just as important.
Community
About this circle
The community circle works to bridge the path between the organisation of logistics and resources with the participants so we are able to provide an event that serves as many people as possible.
We cover the key areas of accessibility, families, inclusion. We also run The Point as a mini venue/theme camp that can be used by anyone looking for a space to host their offerings at Nest, and we have the Theme Camp liaison working with all the theme camp leads to invite new and existing groups to bring their collective experiences in to the glade.
As part of our principle work to engage with participants, we also work in community outreach wherein we run online meetings and pre-event site visits so that we can answer as many questions as possible, share information from the board and circles, and importantly listen to you.

About this circle
The Volunteer team is the team that makes the team happen! Matching talent with needs, we're the recruiters that help fill the lead roles in all circles in the organising team, and make sure everyone's happy in their roles. We'll also be wrangling volunteers for the event and overall reminding burners of the principles of participation and communal effort.
