Take Part in the Big Lunch 2017, the UK’s annual get-together for neighbours
by Central Officer |
https://oss.maxcdn.com/ html5shiv/3.7.2/html5shiv.min. js
https://oss.maxcdn.com/ respond/1.4.2/respond.min.jsThe Big Lunch, the UK’s ;
annual get-together for neighbours, is fast approaching, and this year we’re
hoping it’ll be bigger and better than ever. We’ve joined forces with the Jo
Cox Foundation to launch The Great Get-Together: the biggest community
celebration since the Jubilee. The weekend will see two days of community
celebrations, culminating in The Big Lunch on Sunday 18 June.When is The Big
Lunch?The Big Lunch takes place annually in June. The date for The Big Lunch
2017 is Sunday 18 June, but you can hold a Big Lunch on any date that suits you
and your community.Request a free Big Lunch starter pack here.The official date
for The Big Lunch doesn’t suit, can I still take part?Of course! The most
important thing about having a Big Lunch is bringing people together, so if the
date doesn’t suit you or community we absolutely encourage you to hold your
Lunch on another date. Many people hold Big Lunches throughout the year, and
also at different times of the day. The Lunar Lunch is a great way to bring
your community together after nightfall if a day time get together won’t work
for you or your neighbours.What is The Big Lunch's involvement with The Great
Get-Together?Since its inception, The Big Lunch has been striving to create a
‘Thanksgiving day for neighbours’, to create opportunities for neighbours to
come together. We felt that the ‘more in common’ values that Jo Cox advocated
throughout her work echoed our own, and thus a partnership with The Great
Get-Together and the Jo Cox Foundation made sense. The anniversary of Jo’s
death is 16 June, and The Great Get-Together weekend that follows is all about
furthering what we are all trying to achieve: community connections and
stronger relationships.We believe that there is no limit to what can be
achieved if you do not mind who takes the credit and we hope that combining
these events will achieve the biggest community celebration the UK has seen
since the Jubilee. Building community spirit and coming together is our main
goal. The Big Lunch forms part of the weekend — it has not been replaced by The
Great Get-Together, and we expect that many Big Lunches will still take place
without necessarily being part of The Great Get-Together.Why The Big Lunch is
great for communities
- Over 70% of attendees feel The Big Lunch is good for the community
- 94% of attendees believe The Big Lunch will have a positive impact on
their community
- 88% of organisers feel better about their neighbourhood as a result of
hosting a Big Lunch
- 65% of people who organise a Big Lunch go on to do more in their community
- 74% of people who do The Big Lunch feel an increased sense of community
- 38% of people who do The Big Lunch feel a surge in their own self esteem
The value of connected communities
- £32 billion is the cost of disconnected communities to the UK economy
- But connected communities share £15 billion worth of resources and help
- £2.7 billion is saved by health services because of initiatives like The
Big Lunch, but this could be £7.9 billion if more people took part
- People make 20 connections on average when they take part in community
activities
- For 1 in 20 people, talking with a neighbour is the highlight of their day
- 1 in 8 people involved in community activities go on to exercise together
- 1 in 8 people involved in community activities go on to do something
cultural together

authorities will no doubt play a huge part in supporting communities make The
Big Lunch happen within their neighbourhoods. We know staff put a lot of time
in helping promote larger events, assisting organisers with the nuts and bolts,
and of course, helping with temporary road closures. While only 19% of Big
Lunches last year took place on a closed road (many take place in parks,
gardens, schools and
other communal spaces),If you would like help in promoting or assistance in
setting up a Big Lunch within the wards of Broomhill & Sharrow Vale, City,
Hillsborough and Walkley then please contact Teresa Bond, Tel: 0114 2053049 or
