The third annual Month of Community was an absolute cracker this June!

We heard about so many amazing Big Lunches and other events taking place, including a school growing celebration for Have a Grow Day in Stratford, London and a Carers Week event to share stories and connect at Hay Castle, Wales.

In Bristol, all ages came together for the Bristol Refugee Festival and Refugee Week and in Southend, three of our Community Camp graduates organised a Great Big Green Week event with an off-grid repair café, eco-treasure hunt and make do and mend sessions.

Did you take part in any community activities this June? If so, take a few minutes to tell us about it and as a thank you, we'll enter you into a draw to win one of three £30 vouchers for the Eden Project's online shop.

Whether you're one of the millions that got together in your community for the Coronation Big Lunch, or during the Month of Community, or both(!), keep that community connection going all year round with our tips.
