The Big Lunch 2010: Sunday 18th July

Big Lunch brings communities together..... 

13 Big Lunches took place on Sunday 18 July across Coventry, from a simple lunch in the garden to a big community event.

The Big Lunch was a chance for different generations and backgrounds to hear each other out and share stories, skills and interests.

A big park lunch was lined up for Gosford Park and also, with the help of Whitefriars, in places like Willenhall and Foleshill. There were a total of 13 Big Lunches organised across the city. You can check out some of the locations at:

These included:
- Gosford Park Primary School,
- FolesHillfields Healthy Summer,
- Godiva Mela - Edgewick Park, Foleshill (where the Lord Mayor attended),

The Big Lunch is led by the Eden Project with the support of a family of partners, The Big Lottery Fund, MasterCard, EDF Energy and the Department of Communities and Local Government who all want to break down barriers and build bridges within neighbourhoods.

Sue Bent, Director, Coventry Law Centre and chair of the Equalities and Cohesion Thematic Group of the Coventry partnership said, “The big Lunches which took place across Coventry yesterday really built on the success last year. This year the feedback we've had so far has been really positive. The photos from across the city really bring to life the fun that people were having.
