The Big what?

It’s a one-day get together with your neighbours on Sunday 18th July 2010 to eat and meet.

Why do it?

The trouble is we’re all human and deep down we’re often shy. It’s not easy making small talk. It takes courage to stop being a stranger. But once you do, you’ll realise how many good, talented and interesting people there are in your neighbourhood. Those who took part last year know that on the day, those inhibitions soon disappear in a game of rounders and sharing food.

1. To stoke up community spirit – we call it Human Warming.

2. To make the third of us who live

alone feel happier, closer and... friendlier.

3. To show how local people can change a neighbourhood 4. To conquer our natural shyness, to open our curtains, doors and minds and look out for one another the way we used to.

5. To share stories, skills and tools, so we all end up richer in every sense.

6. To discover common ground across age, class, faith, race and the garden fence, and to remind ourselves that charity begins at home, or at most, a couple of doors away If you want to join in the Big Lunch in Cotteridge Park – get in touch at info@ cotteridgepark.org.uk or ring Emma on 451 2336
