Happy New Year from us all at Eden Project Communities!

Temperatures might have dropped, but we’ve loved hearing how you’ve spread warmth and joy in your communities so far this winter.

Whether you’ve brightened darker days with festive window displays, held a neighbourly get together or attended one of our recent events, we’d love to hear.

Take a few minutes to tell about your winter warmer activities by 29 February and we’ll enter you into a draw to win a £30 supermarket voucher. That’s the snacks for your next community event covered!

With our year-round programme, there are lots of ways to connect with your community. Be sure to pop 1-2 June in your diary so you can plan a Big Lunch to look forward to.

Flapjacks are fabulous energy food for fuelling your winter walks, with oats keeping you full for hours. Give this healthy recipe a try – it’s great for lunchboxes or as a tray bake to portion and share.

If you have an idea to connect locals with the natural world by transforming an urban space, check out Grow Wild's Community Programme. Grants of £2,000, training and support are available. Apply by 30 January.

Want to start the year with your best foot forward? Our friends at Action for Happiness have released their 2024 calendar, with simple daily ideas to help you feel happy this January.
