Logistics works with lorry van or car drivers, rickshaw or cargo bike riders, volunteers on foot loading and unloading, and shifting kit around by hand or with trolleys.

Check List for Logistics for a specific Action:

• Have, and record a clear list of what is being supplied, where it’s coming from, how it’s arriving and where is needs to be.
• Make sure everything is clearly labellled.
• Make sure you know where things need to be returned to - quick and efficient site clearing is as important as the set up.
• Keep encouraging volunteers… before during and after the event, you’ll likely need a lot of people to help move kit around and everyone works better when they feel needed and valued.
• Make sure you have enough space in your transport, whether this is a truck, van or cargo bike trailer- underestimating space is worse than having some spare room for the inevitable extras that will arrive.
