A HOUSING provider is urging Burnley residents to get together for a ‘Big Lunch’ next month.

Calico is encouraging residents in South West Burnley to get together for a national initiative which encourages people to have lunch with their neighbours on the first Sunday in June.

Organised by Calico’s Neighbourhood Action Team for South West Burnley, a free Big Lunch event will take place at The Centre, Valley Street, Burnley, on Sunday, 7 June, between noon and 3pm.

Residents can enjoy a range of delicious food and refreshment, and take part in a whole host of fun and games .

Alicia Foley, Calico’s community involvement advisor, said: “As well as an opportunity to share food with their neighbours, this event will give local people the opportunity to let us know what sort of things they would like to see happening .”
