On Sunday 18th July we're inviting you to have lunch with your neighbours – in streets, parks, gardens, car parks...

The best part of a million people did it last year and loved it. Join us for the second annual event and help put a smile back on Britain's face.

Why be involved?
You’ll enjoy it. Food, music and laughter tastes, sounds and feels better with others. Here are six more reasons why you should get stuck in:

1. To stoke up community spirit – we call it Human Warming.
2. To make the third of us who live alone feel happier, closer and... friendlier.
3. To show how local people can change a neighbourhood for good, forever.
4. To conquer our natural shyness, to open our curtains, doors and minds and look out for one another the way we used to.
5. To share stories, skills and tools, so we all end up richer in every sense.
6. To discover common ground across age, class, faith, race and the garden fence, and to remind ourselves that charity begins at home, or at most, a couple of doors away.
