We're the people behind #TheBigLunch and The #BigWalk!
We support and encourage people all over the UK to take positive actions that strengthen and connect communities.We bring people together to build their confidence and grow and share their talents. We support individuals and communities as they create positive change to tackle local issues that matter to them most.The Big Lunch connects people and encourages friendlier, safer neighbourhoods where people start to share more — from conversations and ideas, to skills and resources. For many, holding a Big Lunch ignites a passion for doing more good things in their community, and through our UK wide team, we run free peer support network events across the UK for people who deliver community led projects that make a positive difference where they live.

National Energy Action (NEA) NIOnline / VirtualSeminarTraining/AdviceWorkshopThe UK government set out a target, enshrined in the Climate Change Act (2008), to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the whole of the UK by 2050. Decarbonising homes is central to achieving that target and there is an urgent need to address the carbon emissions produced in heating and powering domestic properties.
