Spread festive cheer this year!
| | With Halloween and bonfire night behind us, Christmas planning is very much underway!
For many, it’s a busy time of year, and for some it can feel quite lonely. Taking time to chat with neighbours over mince pies, or enjoying a shared meal is a great way to keep connected, which is why we're launching The Big Lunch at Christmas this year.
As with the annual Big Lunch in June, it's all about sharing food and friendship with people in your community.
It could be giving the gift of time and inviting the neighbours in for tea, hosting something bigger in a community space, or setting an extra place at your table for someone that lives alone.
Check out our handy guide and winter warmer activity ideas, set a date and get ready to share friendship, food and festive fun this December!

| | Get free, hands-on help to organise a brilliant Big Lunch fast! The friendly team of event nerds at More Human are offering workshops, 1:1 assistance and access to a magic online tool to get everything done in just one sitting.
| | Plan your festive food and drink
| | Our cost-effective, crowd-pleasing festive recipes will go down a treat at your Big Lunch at Christmas. Each recipe will tickle your taste buds and creates plenty to share with neighbours and friends.
| | Clear your clutter (and be kind in the process!) | | When it comes to being kind, your community is a great place to start. Celebrate World Kindness Day by looking at what you have but no longer need, to give away to neighbours. Lots to share? Join our Reverse Advent Challenge and give something away every day in the run up to Christmas!
| | Tough times call for close communities
| | Coming together and supporting those around us is needed now more than ever. From reducing isolation and setting up new groups, to sharing food and supporting those most in need, together we can create a 'human warming' response in our communities.
