Nursery World - Nurseries encouraged to take part in the annual Big Lunch

Early years settings have the chance to reach out to their local communities by taking part in The Big Lunch, an annual celebration run by the Eden Project.

The Big Lunch Thank You Day is on 4 July

This year, The Big Lunch is encouraging the nation to join in throughout a Month of Community – to reconnect and to support great causes– from 5 June through to Thank You Day on 4 July.
Thank You Day, on 4 July, has been proposed as a national moment to pause, when people across the UK are being invited to say thank you to each other for a tough year. It’s a chance to get together with neighbours, communities and families, to mark what has happened and say thank you.

Big Lunch Ambassador Ainsley Harriott is encouraging everyone have a socially-safe Big Lunch on the first ever national Thank You Day.

Ideas for nurseries include reading stories together and encouraging children to bring along their favourite teddy or toy to a picnic.
