Grainne McCloskey, Regional Manager at Eden Project Communities, the charity behind The Big Lunch, said:

“Community spirit makes a huge difference in helping a neighbourhood thrive and we want to encourage and help everyone to join in this year in your own way. Whether it is a few neighbours gathering in a kitchen or on the street or a group fundraising or celebrating its volunteers and shining a light on their progress this year, we want to hear from you. Just download the free tools at thebiglunch.com and drop your plans for June onto the map.

“The Big Lunch is about food, friendship and fun. People are the key ingredient and we all have something to share. Organising something simple and low-cost increases belonging and can help new neighbours feel welcome in their new community. It’s also a great way to celebrate the people who volunteer their time throughout the year to have a positive impact where they live and can also be a lovely fundraiser that reaches beyond your usual group.”

The Big Lunch, is an idea from Eden Project made possible by The National Lottery, and supported by Iceland The Food Warehouse it is part of Month of Community so join in this June.

Food vouchers will be allocated at random from all those registered on the interactive Big Lunch map but hurry and register your details as the competition closes on Friday May 10th.
