Thanks for lending a hand - The Big Help Out 2024 is now over!

After another hugely successful summer of volunteering, The Big Help Out has now finished for this year and the BHO app has now closed. But don't worry, it'll be back in 2025! Almost 6.5 million people across the UK took part in The Big Help Out weekend in June. 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!

The Big Help Out will return in 2025 - so stay tuned!

The Big Help Out launched in 2023 in celebration of The King's Coronation and returned in 2024 to build on the legacy of what proved to be the UK's biggest volunteering push for decades.

2025 will see The Big Help Out return for another year and another summer of helping out, with thousands of organisations expected to take part once more.

Everyone who took part in The Big Help Out 2024 through the official app will be notified when the campaign returns. If you didn't take part, or if you've unsubscribed and want to sign up to hear again, click the link below to register your interest for taking part in Summer 2025!
