Month of Community

What is it?

The Month of Community is a time when we come together to celebrate everything that makes our communities great.  It’s an opportunity to bring our neighbourhoods closer, give back, and shine a light on the amazing communities we live in.

There’s a big splash at the beginning of June with The Big Lunch (and Big Jubilee Lunch), Neighbourhood Watch Week and Volunteers Week, but the fun continues throughout the Month of Community as we get together to share friendship, have fun and support a variety of charities and causes.

Last year, over 15 million people took part in the first ever Month of Community, so don’t miss out, join in this June – whether you want to say cheers to volunteers, connect with your neighbours, support a cause you care about, or simply to say thank you, it’s all part of the Month of Community!
