Let’s Do Lunch
The Big Lunch and Volunteer Now help bring communities closer together
CHAMPIONING, volunteering and community spirit was on the menu when The Big Lunch and Volunteer Now joined local community organisations across County Antrim at The Braid in Ballymena for lunch this week.
Speaking at the event, Wendy Osborne OBE, Chief Executive, Volunteer Now said; “Volunteer Now is delighted to support The Big Lunch as part of Volunteers’ Week 1 – 7 June. Volunteers Week is about celebrating and thanking the many thousands of volunteers who are local heroes in our communities.
“Hundreds of volunteer involving organisations, from grass roots community groups to large charities take part in the Week to raise the profile of their volunteers and the valuable work they do by hosting presentations, celebrations and by simply getting together to celebrate volunteering.
“Having a Big Lunch is one way neighbours and local communities can come together through a simple act of community, friendship and fun and events like these can help encourage more volunteering in your area and even start good local conversations about Time Banking. Volunteer involving organisations can order free resources to help their celebrations at www.volunteernow.co.uk.”
Deputy Mayor of Ballymena, Robin Cherry MBE, said; “I am very impressed by the enthusiasm of both Volunteer Now and The Big Lunch.
“We at Ballymena Borough Council regard community as a priority, and I personally believe volunteers are the salt of the earth. I would seriously encourage all those within the borough to get involved in the Big Lunch and get to know your neighbour.”
The Big Lunch is an initiative led by the Eden Project, funded by BIG Lottery Fund and supported by Mastercard, Kingsmill and ASDA. It can be anything from a few neighbours getting together in the garden or on the street, to a full-blown street party with food, music and decoration that quite literally stops the traffic.
The Big Lunch representative in Northern Ireland, Grainne McCloskey said; “We are encouraging people across the UK to get together in their local area and celebrate their community or use the event to raise money for a charity of their choice. It’s happening on Sunday 3 June during the 28th annual Volunteers’ Week (1 – 7 June) so why not get a free pack from our website, www.thebiglunch.com and organise your own get together.
Speaking at the roadshow Joanne McDowell, Big Lottery Fund NI Director, said; "The Big Lunch is firmly establishing itself in Northern Ireland as a great way for communities and neighbourhoods to come together in the simple act of sharing a meal.
“The Big Lottery Fund is encouraging charities, volunteer organisations and community groups across Northern Ireland to run Big Lunches in their communities that will bring local people together. The good conversations started at Big Lunches can lead to stronger neighbourhood networks and motivate people to take more of an active role in their communities

This collection of tiny homes was conceived as a creative approach to housing vulnerable members of our community in a temporary and transitional way, as a step towards permanent affordable housing. Designed to meet the city’s requirements, and with the support of the neighboring communities of River North, Cole and Curtis Park, the 11 sleeping units, two shared bathing units, and community space address the needs of its 15 residents, providing them with much-needed stability and helping them lay the groundwork for positive outcomes.

The Balgo strip is gravel and rarely goes out because of rain. The strip runs almost to the edge of the plateau so the feeling is much like taking off or landing on an aircraft carrier when that end is into the wind. Hercules have landed here when floods have isolated the surrounding communities, bringing in fuel and maybe food which is then ferried to smaller strips in Caribou aircraft.
