Report: The impact of the Great Get Together 2023

September 15, 2023

The Great Get Together, inspired by the late Jo Cox MP, brings people together every year to celebrate what they have in common.

We are delighted to report that we had a very successful Great Get Together campaign in 2023, with 61% more events run than in 2022 and new initiatives
launched with a range of key partners. It was fantastic to see so many events run across the country, from huge street parties in the centre of London to cups of tea in hamlets in Devon.

In this report, we’ll share some of the findings from our surveys and evaluation, showing the wide impact that the Great Get Together had on people and communities. A huge thanks, as always, to the thousands of organisers around the country who put on a local Great Get Together. Our organisers are the ones who really bring Jo Cox’s ‘more in common’ message to life each year and we are incredibly grateful to them.
