Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay to attend meetings?
No – there’s no cost. Sheffield Friends of the Earth is free to join, and all our meetings are open to everyone at no charge. When meeting at the University Arms you’re welcome to buy a drink, but this is entirely optional and at your own expense.
What if I arrive late or need to leave early?
That’s absolutely fine. Life is busy, so just drop in when you can and leave when you need to. You’re always welcome.
I’m not an environmental expert – can I still come?
Definitely! You don’t need any prior knowledge or experience. Our group includes people from all backgrounds – students, professionals, retirees and more. Everyone brings different skills and perspectives. Whether that’s writing, design, photography, organising events, or simply enthusiasm and ideas, there’s a place for you here.
How much time do I need to commit?
That’s entirely up to you. We’re a voluntary group, so you decide how involved you want to be. Some people contribute occasionally, while others take on a more active role.
Is campaigning done during the meetings?
Meetings are mainly for planning and sharing updates. Most campaigning activities happen outside the meetings, at times that suit the volunteers involved.
Are there social events as well?
Yes! Alongside campaigning, we also organise a range of social activities. These might include trips to places like the Centre for Alternative Technology, as well as more relaxed get-togethers such as Christmas meals, and informal meet-ups for a coffee before or after events. It’s a great way to get to know people in a more social setting.
