BYHP Community Big Lunch - Improving Mental Wellbeing through Foods of the World

As BYHP’s final blog for #MHAW16, which has been focused on Relationships, we want to link to an event which we at BYHP are holding on 2nd July, the BYHP Community Big Lunch.
 
The Mental Health Foundation has produced this animated film stressing the importance on community on our collective wellbeing

Recent research from the Eden Project initiative The Big Lunch with Oxford University showed just how the problem in the UK has become with people increasingly eating alone.

So, for the second year running, the BYHP team is inviting the whole community to join us on Saturday 2nd July at 2 Chandos Close, Banbury, OX16 4TL and to bring a dish from around the world to share with everyone else so we can get together and generate some “human warming” over a shared lunch.
