🎨Organisational chart

The Cable is organised into circles that are each responsible for different parts of the organisation. In this section you'll find descriptions of all our circles.

Project teams

We occasionally form temporary circles for specific projects that involve a lot of cross team collaboration (e.g. local election coverage, replacing a team member). They usually exist only for the duration of the project and may involve people from across the coordinator team.

The Cable Co-ordinator Team (or 'circle')

Summary
