We bring people together to build their confidence and grow and share their talents. We support individuals and communities as they create positive change to tackle local issues that matter to them most. We started off with a very simple idea: one day a year when, for a few glorious hours, cars stop, shyness stops, gloom lifts and the UK comes together in the street to meet, greet, share, swap, sing, play and laugh for no reason other than that we all need to. And so The Big Lunch was born. Since it began in 2009, #TheBigLunch — the UK’s annual get together for neighbours — has grown ten-fold and each year gets bigger and better. Each year over six million people take to their streets, gardens and neighbourhoods to join in for a few hours of community, friendship and fun. The Big Lunch connects people and encourages friendlier, safer neighbourhoods where people start to share more — from conversations and ideas, to skills and resources. For many, holding a Big Lunch ignites a passion for doing more good things in their community, and through our UK wide team, we support over 1000 people to deliver community led projects that make a positive difference where they live. Through Community Camp events, experiences and access to engaging resources, the Eden Project supports ordinary people to do everyday things that create extraordinary results. Through small and simple actions, people transform the places where they live and strengthen communities across the UK. Facebook: facebook.com/edencommunities Twitter: @edencommunities
