The Big Work Luncheon – Getting Everyone Fit For Business!

The Fit For Business (FFB) team have been working with businesses across the Eastern Region to promote the idea of The Big Lunch.
Healthy Eating and Mental Wellbeing make up two of the five core components of the FFB Programme – so linking in with the ‘Big Lunch’ concept has been great to get our business placed ‘Champions’ to promote and run ‘Big Lunches’ within their own workplace!

Despite the event being on a Sunday, businesses have still been keen to hold their own ‘Big Lunch’ during the week running up to the big day! NHS Great Yarmouth and Waveney along with Waveney District Council are holding their very own “Colleague Luncheon” today (Friday 17th July) for all staff at the organisations, to step away from their desks, enjoy the outdoors and most importantly socialise and have fun! 

The teams from Suffolk have grabbed their lunch bags, colleagues and unfortunately brollies!  And have headed off to have their own-shared ‘Big Lunch!’  Despite the weather being quite dull, this is not dampening the spirits of the staff and they are using the opportunity to try some new foods and meet some new people – and also catch up with those people that we always say ‘We must see you soon!’  It’s a great opportunity to down-tools and mingle.

Linking in with the concept of a ‘Team’ Big Lunch, only goes to further support and promote what FFB are already embedding with businesses part of the programme – but what it has allowed us to do is share this success on a much wider level!

We’re really looking forward to seeing the photos and feedback from today’s lunches and would like to say a big ‘Thank You’ to the Big Lunch Team for running the campaign. What a great opportunity to get together and form communities! Even within the workplace!
