Great Get Together 2025

Wednesday 18 June 12pm-3pm

Did you know that every year in June, there is a national Great Get Together Weekend? In memory of Jo Cox, this is an opportunity for communities to reject division and celebrate Jo’s message that we have more in common than that which divides us. How better then to celebrate this by having our own UOH Great Get Together in the Jo Cox More in Common Centre!

Open to all staff and students, the Great Get Together is an opportunity to be part of something a little different on a Wednesday afternoon and celebrate the unity within our university community.

Join us anytime between 12pm – 3pm on Wednesday 18 June in the Jo Cox More in Common Centre. The event will be themed around the Jo Cox Foundation’s key themes, including:

Eat Together: Watch and take part in our live cookery demonstration led by Estates and Facilities, or enjoy a piece of cake in the Community Lounge
Create Together: Take part in one of our table craft activities in the Community Hall
Talk Together: Pick up one of our conversation cards and start a chat with someone you haven’t met before
Read Together: Bring your favourite poem or passage from a book and share it with others in our guided reading session led by the Library
Walk Together: Join our wellbeing walk around the centre, taking in nature and views of our beautiful campus led by our GPA Team
Get Active Together: Take part in a game of table tennis or try your hand at one of our giant garden games

If you are planning on coming along, please sign up in advance through Eventbrite so we can plan numbers for activities and catering.

Look forward to seeing you there!
