The Big Help Out is back! In June 2024 we are hoping more of you than ever will join in and lend a hand. We’ll be announcing some exciting plans for the event in the new year.
For now, help us spread the word and get the date in your diaries.
You can still lend a hand!
A massive thank you to the 6 million* of you who joined in with The Big Help Out on Monday 8h May!
It was fantastic to see people coming together to lend a hand in their communities to experience how rewarding volunteering can be, and the power it has to make a change.
73% of volunteers say getting involved gives them more confidence, according to research by the NCVO. And over 7 million of you say you are more likely to volunteer as a result of seeing The Big Help Out in action!*
The Big Help Out is not for one day only. Our handy app helps you lend a hand all year round. Just follow the link below. If you have an hour – fantastic. If you want to do something regular, there’s an opportunity for you!
Also, please check out volunteersweek on 1st to 7th June and #thankyouday on Sunday 2nd July for opportunities to come together as communities.
