Faith Groups

We know that faith communities do a huge amount already to build community and to bridge divides of age, race, wealth and opportunity. We hope that you will join us to make the Great Get Together a huge success and to celebrate what we have in common.

Below are ideas for how your faith group can get involved. If you have any questions please email us at  hello@greatgettogether.org – we’d love to help.

How we can make The Great Get Together truly great!

Host a Great Get Together

Could you host a get together on the weekend of 22-24 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.

Marketing materials

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

Link up with groups in your area who are hosting Get Togethers

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

Spread the word about The Great Get Together

We want everyone, no matter who they are or where they are, to take part in The Great Get Together, so however you as a group get involved, we would also like you to spread the word among all the people you know.

The Great Get Together was an initiative founded in 2017 by the family and friends of Jo Cox by the More in Common in partnership with more than 100 organisations. Since then we've heard from all quarters that the Great Get Together shouldn't be a one-off, so it's now a project of More In Common (Company No: 10900540) in close partnership with the Jo Cox Foundation. More in Common is an initiative founded to build more united, inclusive and resilient societies in which all have a stronger sense of belonging and where support for vibrant civic and democratic institutions is strong and stable.
