Lend a hand for the King’s Coronation

Businesses and organisations around the country are being encouraged to come together for The Big Help Out, to mark King Charles III’s Coronation on May 6.

A celebration of volunteering in the Coronation year, anyone can make a difference, whether it’s checking in on someone who would like a bit of company or volunteering for a charity. The campaign is looking to inspire new audiences – showing that volunteering is for everyone.

Founded by the Shaping the Future with Volunteering Group, it’s co-chaired by the Scouts and Royal Voluntary Service. In partnership with The Together Coalition, The Big Help Out is supported by DCMS and the Royal Households.

Key organisations include AgeUK, British Red Cross, St John Ambulance and many more.

Just visit the app at thebighelpout.org.uk to find volunteering openings. Any businesses can organise and register an event of their own or join in with something that’s already planned. And look out for #TheBigHelpout on the Bank Holiday Monday.
