Save The Date For The Great Get Together

We've made it through January, which means Spring is in sight and it's time to start planning The Great Get Together 2025!

The Great Get Together is the UK’s annual celebration of everything that unites our communities, inspired by Jo Cox’s belief that we have more in common than that which divides us.

This year’s event will take place on 20-22 June.

A lot has happened since June last year, including some internal change here at the Foundation, with the lovely James leaving in the Autumn.

After the riots in 2024, it’s crucial that we continue to come together to celebrate our common humanity. Jo’s message, and the need to celebrate unity, bridge divides and reject division, is as relevant now as it was nine years ago.

Events, big and small, remain a vital way of bringing our communities together. We hope you’ll be inspired to run or attend a community event on or around these dates.
A flavour of the street parties, sing-togethers, living histories, refugee walks and neighbourhood brews that took place in 2024 is included in this Impact Report.
‘Community events associated with a national moment … are a powerful tool for fostering feelings of community.’ (Power of Events, Belong Network, 2024)
