Faith Groups

Could you host a get together on the weekend of 21-23 June and be part of a national celebration of what we have in common? Remember that events don’t have to be a big – a BBQ in your back garden or a small picnic in the park counts just as much, you could host a community meal or kids’ sports tournament? If you’re looking for inspiration head to our ideas page. Joining up with people in your area who you might not normally get together with is very much in the spirit of the weekend.

We’ve produced some great assets to help you promote your get together and get people involved. Many of these include design files for you to adapt and co-brand as you wish. You could use these to customise your Great Get Together project/event webpage, print or media. We’ve produced some great marketing assets to help you promote your get together you can download all of these and much more in our resources library here! Please sign up here to register your event and to be kept up to date on important information regarding resource packs and communications plans. If you would like any particular branded materials not included in the resources to advertise your event please let us know what materials you would like by emailing us at hello@greatgettogether.org

If you are a smaller organisation or group, it may be that organising a Get Together yourself is too big a task. But don’t be put off. If you would like to be part of the Great Get Together it’s likely that there are events in your area, organised by others, where you would be very welcome. Alternatively you could join with others in your area to plan an event together. We very much want faith communities and your members to be a big part of the Great Get Together. If you’re stuck we can help you find people close by – let us know by emailing hello@greatgettogether.org

We’d love to hear – and for the world to know – about your organisation’s plans to get involved with The Great Get Together.
