Venue: Your community…

Nothing helps build community better than food. Corrymeela have partnered with the Eden Project in support of The Big Lunch annual get together, bringing people together in their communities to share friendship, food and fun this June.

Host your own Big Lunch and help raise some funds for Corrymeela in the process… 
 

Corrymeela Community member Joanne Boal says The Big Lunch has made a massive difference to her neighbourhood and is now just one of the many things they do together since forming Rainbow Alley and they are now growing together all year round. 

Everyone is welcome! By hosting a Big Lunch at work, with family, neighbours or friends, you can help people from our most challenging communities find a sense of belonging. 

Every £ makes a difference!

£10 raised could bring four people together for coffee and a chat.

£50 raised could bring two community leaders together for a day.

£185 could pay for an action–packed programme for kids who don’t usually meet one another.

£250 would allow a community group of ten young people to come together in conversation.
