| | You may have seen in the news recently that this year, The Big Lunch is bringing neighbours and communities together to share friendship, food and fun on the Coronation weekend, 6-8 May.
From tea on the doorstep and garden gatherings to full blown street parties, fetes and festivals, we’ve got everything you need to get your party started.
Your free, digital Big Lunch pack includes editable resources, craft templates, recipes and activity ideas, and we’ve designed a special Coronation Big Lunch pack, complete with crown template, for a right Royal knees-up!
If you can’t take part in May, join the fun in June instead – and plan a Big Lunch to support great causes as part of the Month of Community.
Sign up now and start planning some neighbourly cheer to look forward to this year!
| | Get your road closure application in early
| | Fancy making your Big Lunch a traditional street party? Councils can require anywhere up to 12 weeks’ notice for road closure applications – so now's the time to apply, if you're planning a Coronation Big Lunch.
| | Fund your event or project
| | The National Lottery Awards for All scheme offers funding of £300 to £10,000 to support communities with the things that are important to them. That includes celebrating national events, so you could apply for funds for your Big Lunch. Apply 12 weeks ahead of your event.

| | Climate change, nature in crisis and the cost of living – these problems can feel huge, but our friends at the Climate Coalition suggest taking action by starting small. Make a green heart to send to your MP this month. Got kids? Get them involved this half term. Every heart sent helps raise awareness.
