19th July 2009 was the first Big Lunch and now the seed has been sown we look forward to the event growing year after year. The original idea came from the Eden Project, where getting people to reconnect with their natural world and demonstrating what can be done by people working together is core to the project’s charity work. “Our aim was for people to get out on their street, raise a glass and share a bite with their neighbours – that’s The Big Lunch.” – Eden Project Chief Executive Tim Smit. So how do you fancy helping to organise the first Big Lunch King's Cross?

The Big Lunch team is gearing up for summer 2010, working with their existing partners and joining up with new ones to help them to help the nation throw a most spectacular bash next year.

So King's Crossites, your community needs you! We are putting together a working group of people who really want to make this happen in our streets. If you have some time you can offer, are prepared to roll your sleeves up to take on one or more of the wealth of tasks involved and can commit to seeing this project through for better or worse… contact us now. The sooner we start the better.

To see how communities faired last year click here where you can watch the movie, read the blogs and get a really good sense of what you#d be taking on should you accept your mission and join us. All you have to do at the moment is send us an email telling us why you'd like to get involved and what you might like to do towards organising the great event – no matter how big or small that might be.
