The Big Lunch has the aim of getting as many people as possible across the whole of the UK to have lunch with neighbours and wider community as a simple act of friendship.The team have had such a lovely time and they’re delighted to have been invited to Lido House to share lunch and a bit of fun with the residents. The Great Get Together is inspired by MP Jo Cox, who was killed on 16 June 2016. She was very committed to bringing communities together to celebrate all that unites us.The teams contribution was a Funky Mad Hatter Afternoon Tea at the Satellite Centre in Greenfifield.A big thank you must go to Jo’s family who set up the fund that enabled so many events to be organised around the country. The Funky Fitness team are so excited and working really hard to deliver their project learning all about growing food on the allotments and working with Saddleworth Cookery School to produce nutritious meals. Dates are now in the diary, on a rota basis we will be arranging luncheon clubs with four local residential homes. They kicked off the cookery project by attending Food Hygiene workshops; oh and they found time to make some lovely soup for lunch. Until next time, the Funky Fitness crew offer best wishes to one and all, so take care of each other.
