About us
Our vision is of a thriving planet where people care for nature, each other, and their communities. Through our flagship campaign The Big Lunch and our communities programme, we aim to help create safer, friendlier neighbourhoods where people share more – from conversations and ideas to skills and resources.
We encourage connection and help people build the skills, tools and confidence to start or grow local projects.
We are the Eden Project
The Eden Project is an educational charity and social enterprise.
We explore how people can work together – and with nature – towards a better future.
We are inspired by the belief that people are more than capable of changing things for the better, and through creating Eden we’ve learnt what ingenuity, resourcefulness, hope and determination can do.
Our guiding principles
- Create opportunities for people to share more, connect with others, and have fun.
- Support and encourage people to get involved where they live.
- Build greater empathy between people and communities.
- Celebrate the human and the everyday.
- Champion inclusivity and celebrate diversity.
- Make The Big Lunch a national shared moment that unites us, our neighbourhoods and communities.
Our mission
Our mission is to bring people together and explore the power of community to shape a brighter future for people and the planet.
“The future is ours to invent. Let’s create a world we want to live in.”
Dr Tony Kendle, Eden Project
