Activists form affinity groups to take part in the actions, and the consensus decision making process at the camp. There are also support roles needed, such as cooking and building work at the camp, as well as media and legal support.

Peace campaigners and activists from Belgium, Finland, France and the Netherlands are already planning to join the British ploughshares activists at the camp, and further mobilisation is happening.
