Support for neighbours and groups to get together this June.

Everyone across Northern Ireland is being encouraged to help make June 2025 the biggest #monthofcommunity and the Eden Project have teamed up with the CO-OP to offer food vouchers to help people take part in The Big Lunch annual celebration of community and neighbourhood.
 
To be in with a chance of one of 100 £25 vouchers register for a free Big Lunch pack at TheBigLunch.com  and pop your plans no matter how simple on the map  here Pop your Big Lunch on the map - Eden Project Communities

It does not matter whether you are a constituted group or not said Grainne McCloskey, Eden Project. This is about helping neighbours and groups reach out and meet new people, and make friends that are there for you when it matters.

You don’t need a lot to host a Big Lunch, tea for three out the front or even a pot luck picnic in the park or the back garden, it doesn’t need to be a grand affair! I think the best big lunches are when people bring a chair and something to share!

These vouchers are designed to help you make it happen. At a time when costs are rising we want to enable people to keep it simple and come together because its often not whats available at events but the conversations and fun together that are most memorable.

The Big Lunch is an idea from the Eden Project made possible by the support of Pears Foundation and corporate partners Co-op and Greene King.

Food vouchers will be allocated at random from all those registered on the interactive Big Lunch map in Scotland and Northern Ireland and everyone who registers will receive an e news with discounted money off coupons to help you buy the ingredients for your Big Lunch.
