Zoom virtual meeting

We will be joined by Sophie Bridger, Scotland’s Country Manager for Eden Project Communities. She leads on the delivery of The Big Lunch in Scotland, the annual thanksgiving event for neighbours and communities. She loves bringing people together human rights and being outside – in her garden, in the sea and in the mountains.

Eden Project Communities is the communities arm of the Eden Project. We have a vision of a world full of happier and healthier communities where people know one another and neighbourhoods thrive.

Bella Kerr will offer some information about Food for Life Get Togethers growing food, connecting generations through food and sharing ideas in our communities to break down social isolation and loneliness and information about Plant and Share Month.
