The Big Help Out is Returning
As part of volunteers’ week (Monday 3rd June – Sunday 9th June), the second instalment of the Big Help Out will take place across the weekend of 7 – 9 June. This year the campaign will focus on supporting under-represented communities in volunteering.
Around 6 million people took part in The Big Help Out’s debut, making it the UK’s biggest-ever day of volunteering! There’s a huge range of ways to get involved this year so watch out for more news.
The Big Help Out are launching an app in April, but in the meantime, you can save the date and help spread the word to your volunteers and beyond.
Furthermore, NCVO are hosting a series of support webinars. Topics will include:
- The latest Big Help Out campaign news
- Support to use their new digital platform
- Practical insights and best practice for improving volunteer diversity
