The Big Lunch event

The event on Sunday 5th June aimed to get as many people as possible to lunch with neighbours to create a community spirit in the heart of the city.Entertainment included a packed programme of local singers, bands and choirs and a host of children’s activities. Organiser Christy Acton said: “This is the one day of the year that the local community makes the time to get together to enjoy each others company, to share great food and conversation, listen to brilliant music and forge what we hope will become lifelong friendships.

Everyone at The Big Lunch has had such a great day and we are going to waste no time in planning the next event.” The Big Lunch is organised by educational charity the Eden Project and funded by the Big Lottery.

There was a number of stalls where local organisations promoting local projects that they are running in their neighbourhoods. The Big Lunch event has been running in Ward End Park for the last 4 years and attracted 5000 people last year. The event was a opportunity for Inspire2 to network and do some fundraising to provide various projects for local young people. It was a great day out enjoyed by everyone, we look forward to working in partnership with other local community groups for the benefit of young people.
