Funder: The Big Lottery Fund

Bringing communities together, reducing loneliness and isolation and helping to make a difference locally is at the heart of the Big Lottery Fund’s mission.

BIG is therefore delighted to invest Lottery funding into The Big Lunch which continues to help inspire communities and neighbourhoods to come together in the simple act of sharing a meal. Through this neighbourhood networks will be strengthened, a greater sense of community cohesion will be created and people will be motivated to take more of an active role on their doorstep.

Anna Southall, Interim Chair of BIG explains: 'The Big Lunch is firmly establishing itself as a simple way to bring people together who might otherwise not have had the chance to meet.'
