The Big Help Out 2024
Three amazing days to inspire the volunteers of tomorrow (7-9 June 2024)
Thank you for supporting The Big Help Out.
For The Big Help Out 2023, I was proud to back a campaign that saw us bring the country together for the UK’s biggest ever day of volunteering. An amazing 7.2 million people were mobilised to help out in their communities. Just incredible.
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. And it’s set to be even better. We’d love you to be involved every step of the way, mobilising your networks and spreading the word, and thinking about how you can make the most of this June to recruit new volunteers and motivate your current team.
Now’s the time to start planning. It’s about all of us doing a little to make one big difference. Together, we’re inspiring the volunteers of today and tomorrow to lend a hand, make a change in our communities, and perhaps forge new friendships and connections along the way.
Volunteering drives kindness and generosity, which is needed now more than ever. I look forward to being part of The Big Help Out 2024 with you!

Scouts are proud to be leading this work with a broad coalition of volunteer-involving charities so we can recruit more volunteers to help others, learn new skills and to have a bit of fun along the way.
