The Power of Social Connection in Kirklees
In Batley and Spen, Jo Cox’s constituency and place of birth, we’re taking this January’s Great Winter Get Together as...
We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.
What is the Great Get Together?
The Great Get Together is an initiative inspired by the late Jo Cox designed to bring people together to celebrate what they have in common. Through the Great Get Together, we ask people across the country to make new connections and promote Jo's message of unity.
Join the Great Winter Get Together (17-30 January)
Inspired by Jo Cox, this January we are encouraging everyone to take action that normalises talking about loneliness. Anyone can take part, whether that’s by sharing your experience of loneliness, reaching out to someone in your life who may be lonely, or by bringing people together - our No Shame in Sharing toolkit will help you every step of the way.

Our Impact
Great Get Togethers help people to make genuine connections - changing the communities they are held in and the people that attend them forever. Our impact data shows that people who take part find that it helps them to meet new people, to feel more hopeful, and to feel less lonely.
