Hold a Big Lunch for the Eden Project

Help bring communities together and support nature, people and places.

What is The Big Lunch?

On 7–8 June 2025, millions of people across the UK will come together for The Big Lunch — a joyful weekend of friendship, food and fun.

An idea from the Eden Project, The Big Lunch has grown into the UK’s biggest annual get-together for neighbours. Whether it’s a simple bite to eat with a few friends or a party for the whole street or community, every Big Lunch makes a difference.

It’s fun, it’s easy and it’s for everyone! And this year, it can do even more – by supporting the Eden Project’s mission to connect people with nature and each other.

Why fundraise for The Eden Project?

The Eden Project is more than a beautiful destination – we’re a charity working to restore nature, build stronger communities and create a more sustainable future.

By hosting a Big Lunch fundraiser, you’ll help us grow our work with children, schools, and communities across the UK – from Little Eden sessions for under-5s to our Nature Connections programme inspiring families to care for the planet.

Together, we can make positive change happen – one lunch at a time.

  2. The Big Lunch bake-off. Host a bake sale or community bake-off where people donate to taste, judge, or take home their favourite treats.
  3. ‘Pay to Play’ games – Set up games (could be large garden games e.g., giant Jenga, ring toss) and ask for a small donation to join in.

All donations are processed by our established partners Stripe and Charities Trust. SuperKind never handles donations.

Our payment partner, Stripe, deducts a processing fee of 1.2% + 20p from all donations made with a major UK or EU card (other cards, including American Express, may incur higher fees). This goes straight to them (not to SuperKind) and is the lowest fee on the market. 100% of the net amount goes to your chosen charity.

Unlike other fundraising platforms, SuperKind is a social enterprise. We are dedicated to inspiring and empowering the next generation of change-makers.
