Welcome to The Big Green Picnic
We’re thrilled to have you join us for The Big Green Picnic — a joyful, nationwide campaign in partnership with Right At Home. Together, we’re helping people with dementia enjoy the simple, powerful benefits of nature.
From garden gatherings to park picnics, every event brings connection, laughter, and fresh air to those who need it most. Let’s make a difference, one picnic at a time.
Ready to get involved and help create moments that matter?
Plan a Picnic That Makes a Difference
We’ve created a Big Green Picnic Toolkit – specially designed with care providers in mind. Whether you’re supporting people living with dementia or working in a residential, home care, or day service setting, this resource is here to help you bring the joy of nature to the people you care for.
Inside, you’ll find a mix of:
Practical tips for planning and setting up your picnic
Gentle, nature-inspired activities to encourage connection and calm
Inclusive ideas that work for all abilities and energy levels
Simple guidance to help you make the day smooth, safe, and full of smiles
Whether you’re hosting a quiet gathering in the garden or inviting your wider community for a bigger event, the toolkit is designed to help you create an experience that’s easy to organise, welcoming for everyone, and full of meaningful moments.
Take a look, get inspired, and start planning your perfect picnic day.
Because small things — like shared sunshine, music, and a cup of tea outdoors — can mean everything.
Pilot Picnic Success at Bishop’s Stortford & Braintree!
We’re delighted to share that our pilot Big Green Picnic at Right at Home Bishop’s Stortford & Braintree was a fantastic success!
With sunshine in the sky, smiles all around, and the joyful sounds of singing and laughter, it was a beautiful reminder of the power of nature and community. Guests enjoyed fresh flowers, delicious food, and, most importantly, great company — all in support of helping people with dementia live better, more connected lives.
A huge thank you to the team for hosting such a heartfelt and inspiring event. What a wonderful way to kick off the Big Green Picnic campaign!
