Over the weekend of 17th-18th June, communities and neighbours will come together, to share food and to celebrate what we hold in common.
A get together can be anything from a street party to a picnic, from a barbecue to a bakeoff. What matters will be whether it brings people together and contributes to building one of the UK’s biggest ever community events.
A diverse range of individuals organisations have come on board already including The Big Lunch, Help for Heroes, GirlGuiding, The Scouts Association, The Royal British Legion, RNLI, RSPB, Oxfam, The Premier League, The Archbishop of Canterbury, The Chief Rabbi, The Catholic Church of England and Wales and many more.
Jo’s killing was aimed at dividing us – and the Great Get Together will hope to show that there is more that unites us than divides us.
Here is a one page summary with more information on the plans so far including ways you can get involved:
