Team Big Lunch on 19 July 2009

August 27, 2009

Why join Team Big Lunch?

Imagine a summer’s day on which millions of us, throughout the UK, sit down to have lunch together with our neighbours: in the middle of our streets, around our tower blocks and on every patch of common ground. This will be a day to break bread with neighbours, and put a smile back on Britain’s face. It’s called The Big Lunch.

On 19th July we’re asking the people of Britain to stop what they’re doing and sit down to have lunch together.

 

 

You can start anywhere

The Big Lunch is a chance to get together to meet, greet, share and sing for no reason other than that sometimes we just need to.

We’ll help with tips on how to create music, art, decorate the street and play games, plus how to involve your school or work and all the practicalities including what to what to do if it rains.

And we’ll even help you find a big lunch happening in your area.

Why’s it a good idea?

Team Big Lunch is not just about eating together and having a good time. We also want to give people the tools to strengthen their communities. To use this occasion to share skills and experiences, so we all end up richer in every sense. And there’s no better way to do that than over lunch.

Who’s behind Team Big Lunch?

Team Big Lunch was dreamt up by the Eden Project with the support of the good folk at EDF Energy.

Join now and we’ll make sure you’re supplied with even more food for thought.
