Shankill Surestart Big Jubilee Lunch

Shankill Sure Start Jolly Jubilee Lunch

 

There were no ration books to be seen as the Shankill Surestart, Alessi centre hosted a Big Jubilee Lunch on Friday morning attended by nursery age Kings and Queens and their friends and families from across the local area. The whole Shankill area is enjoying a distinct party atmosphere as friends and neighbours join global celebrations for The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

 

The staff and children of Shankill SureStart centre had been busy in the weeks running up to the Diamond Jubilee, making crowns and special decorations to help the children learn a little about the Queen and royal history and the centre hosted a fun day giving many of the children attending their very first taste of a Jubilee celebration.

 

Project manager Irene Cooke said: “by joining the Lottery funded Big Jubilee Lunch we were delighted to receive some jubilee materials and a special message from the Queen wishing us a most enjoyable day.”

 

The Big Jubilee Lunch is part of the official programme of events to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and has Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall as its patron. Led by the Eden Project, and funded by Big Lottery the aim of The Big Jubilee Lunch is to encourage neighbourhoods to come together to share lunch and a few hours of community, friendship and fun. The campaign is sponsored this year by Mastercard, Kingsmill and Asda.
