Find out how you can get involved with The Big Help Out

We’re now gearing up for The Big Help Out 2024, which is happening from Friday 7 June to Sunday 9 June - coinciding with Volunteers’ Week.

The day’s about inspiring people to try volunteering for the first time, and will help us recruit more volunteers into the movement.

Developed by Scouts and the Royal Voluntary Service, and organised by the Together Coalition, we want to inspire a new generation of community volunteering. Dozens of charities will be taking part and using the day to encourage people to ‘Lend a Hand; make a change.’

One of the key aims is to make volunteering easy and accessible. Around 1 in 5 people have never been asked to volunteer, and many don’t know where to begin.

"Volunteering has always been a huge part of what makes this country great. The Big Help Out will put volunteering centre stage for a day and give people who want to volunteer easy ways to join in. So please save the date and join us in your community."

Bear Grylls OBE, Chief Scout
