Want to organise your own event? Be a 'Big Lunch Jubilee Champion'!
The Big Lunch is a very simple idea from the Eden Project. The aim is to get as many of the 62 million people in the UK as possible to get together with their neighbours for a few hours of community, friendship and fun, once a year. In 2012 it is celebrating The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and will be called The Big Jubilee Lunch. A Big Jubilee Lunch can be anything from a few neighbours getting together in the garden or on the street, to a full blown party with food, music and decoration that quite literally stops the traffic. The Big Lunch team are currently looking for volunteers to help grow the success of the campaign by promoting the initiative in their local area. Big Lunch Champions can get involved by spreading the word, going along to promotional events, distributing materials and providing support to communities organising a Big Lunch in their area. It will be a rewarding role, offering a fantastic opportunity to connect with other community spirited people in your area and spread the Eden message. To find out more about becoming a Big Lunch Champion contact camilla.baker@thebiglunch.com or call 0207 255 6468. Brief for Big Lunch Champions (doc) |
