Making small talk with a neighbour doesn’t always come naturally for people in the South West but when they do make the effort they feel happier, a new study has revealed.
A national survey carried out by Lottery-funded initiative The Big Lunch, the UK’s annual get-together for neighbours, found that more than 70% of people in the South West said that small talk makes them feel happier...
The Big Lunch is back and has just launched a nationwide search to unearth hidden culinary gems and the stories behind them with the help of celebrity chefs including Ainsley Harriott and Dame Prue Leith. Mandy Harding from Devon is preparing to submit her entry and is encouraging other people to roll up their sleeves and share their favourite recipes!
As a proud partner of The Big Lunch, Halifax is encouraging as many people as possible to come together as a community to have fun and get to know each other. On Sunday June 7, Halifax Plymouth New George Street and Halifax Mutley Plain will be hosting their own Big Lunch at Goosewell Primary School, Goosewell Road from 12 – 3pm. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun.
