Jo Brand, Saira Khan, Ainsley Harriott and Briony Williams have been announced as ambassadors for The Big Lunch, a campaign supported by the Eden Project and The National Lottery, which encourages people in the UK to get together for socially-safe meet-ups this summer, 'to celebrate and give thanks to our neighbours and communities'.

Brand, who's been a supporter of The Big Lunch for five years, commented 'A better society can emerge from lockdown, one where we look out for vulnerable people every day, not just in a crisis; where we talk about mental health the way we talk about broken arms and ear infections; and where we take time to say thank you to the communities that support us. Clearly there’s never been a better time to hold a Big Lunch'.
