The Big Fairtrade Lunch

The Small World may be closed for the summer break but on Sunday 18 July, our volunteers joined up with Prestonpans residents for the Big Fabulous (Fair Trade) Cuthill Lunch.
The Big Lunch is a bring-your-own, open-air party giving everyone a chance to get to know their neighbours, share food and have fun. Over a million people, in every kind of community, took part in over 8,000 Big Lunches across the UK.

As Britain celebrates its local communities, making Fairtrade part of the Big Lunch means we also celebrate communities across the world and empower farmers in developing countries to create their own brighter, more sustainable future through a better trade deal. The Big Lunch is also a wonderful opportunity to pass our Fairtrade habit on to friends and neighbours!
