Calling all volunteers! FREE opportunity at the Eden Project

April 16, 2015 by Paul Leave a Comment

The success of The Big Lunch, the UK’s annual get-together for neighbours from the Eden Project, has been reported widely since 2009.  But what might be news to you is that there’s an exciting follow on project, called Big Lunch Extras.

It’s a free programme to help people run good local projects – like community food groups, shared gardens, green routes in cities, sewing clubs and energy cooperatives – anything that will bring about positive change in their community.  

It starts with a free three-day residential ‘camp’ at the Eden Project, with inspirational speakers, workshops, tours and the chance to network with other people on the programme.   There are just two camps, one in May and one in July, to book your place on, so don’t hang about!

Free Big Lunch packs now available

April 16, 2015 by Paul Leave a Comment

As attention turns to summer, why not plan-in something a bit different this year. A Big Lunch street party could help feed community spirit, provide the perfect recipe to have fun with your neighbours and encourage friendlier, safer neighbourhoods.

This year’s Big Lunch is on Sunday 7th June. You can download the free Big Lunch pack at www.thebiglunch.com or by calling 0845 850 8181.

Emma Smith, from The Big Lunch team, has also written a guest post on the NANM web site with examples of how people around the country are finding that organising a Big Lunch has helped get other things going in their community. That conversations started at a Big Lunch can lead in all sorts of directions. Read the blog – Enjoy a taste of community spirit – Free Big Lunch packs now available
