Good Company (Surrey) are hosting a FREE community event for all the family. This is part of a network of events around the country called The Great Get Together inspired by Jo Cox’s belief that we have more in common than that which divides us.
Jo Sherring, Epsom and Ewell Refugee Network Lead writes
We believe that building a strong, welcoming community is the foundation for helping refugees and families who may be struggling financially or socially to feel safe, valued and included. Hosting a community event like The Great Get Together allows us to bring people from all walks of life together in a spirit of unity, friendship and shared humanity.
It’s an opportunity to celebrate our diversity, forge new connections, and show that Epsom is a place where everyone belongs. In a world where division can feel overwhelming, this event helps remind us all of Jo Cox’s powerful message – that we have more in common than that which divides us.
The event is completely free, with music, food, activities and entertainment for all the family. It will be opened by The Worshipful The Mayor of Epsom & Ewell, Councillor Robert Leach and the Mayoress.
The free entertainment includes songs from our much-loved Ukrainian choir, a Disney Sing-along, the Freedom Pulse Brass Band as well as children’s entertainment and crafts, treasure hunt, henna hand-painting, craft displays, and an assortment of games and sports.
Good Company incorporates Epsom & Ewell Food Bank, Epsom & Banstead Pantries and Epsom & Ewell Refugee Network.
Even though the event is free, entry tickets need to be booked HERE. This also shows the timetable of the afternoon.
The Great Get Together is the UK’s annual celebration of everything that unites our communities, inspired by Jo Cox’s belief that we have more in common than that which divides us. “Change starts at the community level; we all have the power to make a difference.” Jo Cox
