Cracking Community Cafes: Your people

These fact sheets are produced by Ethical Eats, Making Local Food Work and Greenwich Co-operative Development Agency to help new and existing community cafés get to grips with the basics of running a successful enterprise. 

This fact sheet looks at leading and managing the people involved in your community café. It suggests some simple things you can do to build a strong team and motivate everyone. In our earlier fact sheets, we covered marketing, sustainable sourcing and managing finances: none of these activities would be possible without your team, and it is fitting that we end this series with a focus on the people who make it all happen.
