The Big Lunch

The Big Lunch 2024 Campaign

Save the date for The Big Lunch on 1-2 June, set to be the greenest yet, and everyone’s invited!

Since 2009, The Big Lunch has been bringing millions of people together to share friendship, food and fun in their communities. This year we’re dishing up ideas to help make it the greenest Big Lunch yet, and we’ve launched brand new resources to help get the party started.

The Big Lunch can be the starter that makes all the difference in our communities, getting together over a cuppa gives us an opportunity to share cultures, experiences, stories, ideas and skills – helping people grow local connections and feel a greater sense of belonging to where they live.

The Big Lunch also kicks off the Month of Community when good causes come together to celebrate community, encourage action and fundraise annually throughout June.

How you can help

We’re encouraging every community across the UK to come together this summer and we need your help to spread the word.
