What Is It?
The Big Help Out is a nationwide campaign to inspire people to get their first taste of volunteering, lend a hand and make a change in their communities.
Let’s Talk About Last Year.
In 2023 The Big Help Out saw 7.2 million people step up to support their communities.
This was the biggest mobilisation of volunteers since the London 2012 Olympics!
Over 35,000 voluntary organisations and 2,000 businesses took part.
70% of people who tried volunteering for the first time said they’re more likely to volunteer in the future.
When Is It?
The Big Help Out is held from 7-9 June 2024.
This years event is set to be even bigger and better as its rounds off Volunteers’ Week.
How Can We Get Involved?
We would love for as many RDA groups and volunteers to get involved as possible, you can do this by:
Spreading the word (in person & online!)
Hosting an event during The Big Help Out Weekend
Advertising your volunteering opportunities on The Big Help Out Platform
