Pull up a chair for this year's Big Lunch on the 18th July
Last July, the best part of a million people did something amazing. They sat down and had lunch with their neighbours in the middle of their street.
This year again, on the 18th July, The Big Lunch is organising an even bigger and better event. Just like last year, the day needs food, music, games, props, furniture, art, and most of all, happy people. For more info on how to organise your own event or how to join one in your area, please visit the Big Lunch website.
FareShare is happy to support the Big Lunch. Tony Lowe, our CEO, says: "FareShare is pleased to support this great initiative aiming to bring people together over food. Every day, through our work providing food to homeless and vulnerable people, we see how serving a good meal is not just about feeding people, it also brings people together encouraging them to socialise with others, and in our case, enables organisations to engage with less fortunate individuals, helping them improve their lives. We hope that the Big Lunch will succeed in encouraging such positive engagement across all communities, especially in the current climate, where more and more people are finding it difficult to afford proper food.”
