Get together with your neighbours and have a Big Lunch!

23rd Aug 2017

Whether it is a small gathering in your garden or a large party in the middle of your street or estate, a ‘Big Lunch’ is a chance to get together with your neighbours for a day to celebrate your community and have fun. You can organise one for any date you fancy – and we can help you do it.

If you want to arrange a Big Lunch then the main things to consider are:

• Picking a date
• Asking your fellow residents to volunteer to help
• Deciding where to hold it
• Advertising your event, such as putting up notices
• Planning the food or asking residents to bring dishes to share
• Thinking about any decorations
• Getting support from local businesses

We can help with the event by:

• Providing information and advice
• Communicating the event details to other residents
• Offering you up to £300 to purchase food, equipment and decorations

If you want to organise a Big Lunch for your street or estate and would like assistance, then please contact Karen Orr on 020 7613 8084 or getinvolved@newlon.org.uk.
