On 20th March 2023, The Big Help Out app launched.

The Big Help Out is a campaign to showcase how volunteering benefits both communities and the people who take part. The long-term aim is to get more people volunteering who traditionally don’t consider it.

The campaign will encourage a national day of volunteering on Monday, 8th May 2023, the bank holiday of the coronation weekend.

The campaign was designed by the Shaping the Future with Volunteering and Together coalitions.

Groups are encouraged to use this day to promote a taster day of their volunteer roles and use this as a springboard to recruit more volunteers.

The Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort will take place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday 6th May 2023. The Service will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury. As previously announced, the Service will reflect the Monarch’s role today and look towards the future while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry.

The Big Help Out will be held on Monday, 8th May 2023 and is being organised by The Together Coalition and a wide range of partners such as The Scouts, the Royal Voluntary Service and faith groups from across the United Kingdom. The Big Help Out will highlight the positive impact volunteering has on communities across the nation.

In tribute to His Majesty The King’s public service, The Big Help Out will encourage people to try volunteering for themselves and join the work being undertaken to support their local areas. The aim of The Big Help Out is to use volunteering to bring communities together and create a lasting volunteering legacy from the Coronation Weekend.

On March 20th, more is going to be revealed, but in the meantime, the Together Coalition are asking for volunteers involving organisations to get in contact and let them know of their opportunities.

So if your organisation thinks they can offer something on 8th May, such taster or an event which your need more volunteers for, log on and register your group.
