The Great Get Together is inspired by Jo Cox, who was killed on the 16th of June 2016. In her first speech in Parliament, Jo said, "We have more in common than that which divides us". Through the Great Get Together, we ask people across the country to embrace Jo's words and come together each June to hold events that bring people together.[1] The Great Get Together is organised by The Jo Cox Foundation.[2]
As an annual celebration, the event helps unite people, bridge divides, and tackle loneliness, while showing the collective power we have as a community.[3]
