Big Lunch plans for Carmarthenshire
Carmarthenshire residents are being encouraged to invite their neighbours for lunch as part of a national event aimed at building better communities.
The Big Lunch, organised by the Eden Project, will take place on Sunday, June 5, and communities all over the county are being encouraged to join in.
The event aims to bring neighbours together, and to encourage better relations, friendship and trust between people of all ages.
Events could be as simple as a garden picnic, to a Sunday roast, to a huge street party.
Vivienne Kincaid, joint commissioning officer for community services, said: “This will be a fantastic event which could really bring some of Carmarthenshire’s communities together.
“We would love to see groups of people, friends, neighbours and families taking part.
“It would be especially good if people remembered any older people living in their communities – people that would have grown up with street parties and festivities. It would really give them something to smile about.”
The Big Lunch website – www.thebiglunch.com - is packed full of ideas, practical tips and resources such as posters, leaflets and invites to help organisers get their event started.
There’s also a map of events, so that you can join in at your nearest lunch if you do not want to organise one yourself.
