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.
