After another hugely successful summer of volunteering, The Big Help Out has now finished for this year.
Almost 6.5 million people across the UK took part in The Big Help Out weekend. From litter picks, planting, making gifts for veterans, family fun days, and painting lidos, we saw the UK come out to lend a hand. To everyone who joined in – thank you; you’ve made a huge positive impact! We would love to hear your feedback.
The Big Help Out will be back in 2025 – click here to register now to be the first to hear about it later this year.
Lend a Hand in 2024!
A massive thank you to the 6 million* of you who joined in with The Big Help Out on Monday 8th May 2023. 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.
Over 7 million of you say you are more likely to volunteer as a result of seeing The Big Help Out in action!* 73% of volunteers say that getting involved gives them more confidence, according to research by the NCVO.
This year the Big Help Out takes place from 7-9 June and everyone can get involved! Our handy BHO Platform offers many opportunities to lend a hand, and there are many ways for organisations, businesses and individuals to join The Big Help Out.
Also check out #volunteersweek on 3rd to 9th June and #thankyouday on Sunday 7th July for opportunities to come together as communities.
There’s never been a better time to join in, lend a hand, and make a change
