This year, we’re bringing The Big Lunch and The Big Help Out together on 5-8 June for one big do – a weekend of friendship, food, fun and action.
We’ve worked with education charities First Give and SuperKind to create this set of resources to help your school and pupils get involved with The Big Lunch and The Big Help Out.
Whether it’s raising awareness, supporting a local cause or bringing people together, this programme provides a simple way to turn good intentions into meaningful action – helping your students see that they can be part of positive change in their community. Taking part will help build confidence, encourage teamwork and give a sense of purpose.
What’s included for KS3?
- Launch assembly – introducing the idea of social action
- Five Tutor Time sessions – 20 mins each (sessions 1 – 3) and then 40 minutes (sessions 4 & 5 combined)
Tutor Time 1: What is the social issue?
Tutor Time 2: Young people make change
Tutor Time 3: Social action – what is our impact?
Tutor Time 4 & 5: Planning our social action
- Student worksheets to accompany Tutor Time sessions, and a PowerPoint to support you in delivering
