Around 6 million people got involved in May 2023 and it's back for a weekend in June.
This year The Big Help Out will take place on Friday 7th June - Sunday 9th June.
The objective of The Big Help Out is to raise awareness of volunteering throughout the UK and provide opportunities for people to experience volunteering and make a difference in their communities.

There’s also improved features for clubs and national or regional bodies to upload their opportunities to the app.
So how can you get involved:
