You may already have heard of The Big Lunch. But, if not,
it’s a national initiative that aims to encourage communities to
come together in a social environment and get to know their
neighbours.
The Big Lunch organisers explain, “The shared
enjoyment of eating together, laughter, play, music and
conversation bring us together and for all the fact that we are so
fabulously different in our outlook and experience on many things,
we know a simple truth - together we are strong. Wouldn't it be
great if for just one day we remind ourselves about all that is
good about us and bring about a moment that ignites a spark?” |

Communities First Coordinator, Ruth Sillence, said: “It’s always
good to come together with your neighbours but sadly it’s
surprising how many of us don’t know the people living just a few
doors away. We have given our support to this event and made sure
that all the ‘lunches’ were as inclusive as possible. We asked
people to have a think about how they can encourage adults, young
people and children from their area to join in.”
