This June is Month of Community, 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.
June will see a month of community events and celebrations across the UK:
- Neighbourhood Watch Week 30 May – 5 June
- Volunteers Week 1-7 June
- The Big Jubilee Lunch 2-5 June
- The Big Lunch 2-5 June
- Thank You Day 5 June
- Carers Week 6-12 June
- Loneliness Awareness Week 13-17 June
- Refugee Festival Scotland 20 June
- Small Charity Week 20-25 June
- Refugee Week 20-26 June
- The Great Get Together 24-26 June
Last year, over 15 million people took part in the first ever Month of Community, and this year it’s going to be even bigger and better. Jam-packed with brilliant causes, this June will see millions get together with their neighbours for The Big Lunch (2-5 June), with the fun continuing during Volunteers’ Week (1-7 June), Loneliness Awareness Week (June 13-17) and beyond, as many more charities get involved.
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 #MonthofCommunity!
