The Great Get Together SE1 - Hosted by Living Bankside - Saturday 21 June 2025

Living Bankside is pleased to host, once again, this year’s Great Get Together SE1.

The Great Get Together SE1 is part of 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.

The Great Get Together SE1 is one of the biggest FREE community events in London.

The need to celebrate unity and reject division is as relevant now as it was when the first Great Get Together took place in 2017. This June, on what would have been Jo’s 50th birthday, we hope her message will continue to inspire our communities to bring people together.

“While we celebrate our diversity, what surprises me time and time again as I travel around the constituency is that we are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.” - Jo Cox MP

Festivities include an array of music, performances, and children's activities.

Living Bankside is an award winning charitable organisation which seeks to improve the lives of people in Bankside, SE1, Southwark and beyond.

The two sentences which best describe our values are:  

“Whoever you are, whatever your background know that you are valued and loved”

“We are about doing good, making a positive impact, whilst having fun!”
