Every year at SOCA we engage and encourage the residents of our operational area Waltham Cross and Cheshunt to take part in the National Big Lunch Day sponsored by The Eden Project. SOCA organises and manages a One Day Get Together Free Event in the borough, for families in these neigbourhoods and anyone visiting or living from locations ouside of these areas. We encourage guests to bring along picnic baskets, chairs/blanket. and interact with everyone. We provide lots of barbecue food, entertainment, music, fun & outdoor games, for adults & children with plenty of special surprises which include on site, our popular african and caribbean street food stations.
We are always looking for ways to make this event bigger every year with entertainment and involvement of local businesses and organisations on the day.
