Why your organisation should get involved in The Big Help Out
Created: 17/04/2024
News/Events Category: Volunteering
The Big Help Out is a nationwide campaign to showcase the benefits of volunteering and get more people giving back to their communities. The campaign will take place 07-09 June 2024, offering individuals the chance to sample volunteering and explore the range of ways they can contribute to their communities.
Using The Big Help Out app and website, voluntary organisations can showcase a variety of opportunities – from one-off events to micro-volunteering projects and informative 'taster' sessions aimed at fostering long-term engagement. It’s not just about getting people to volunteer for a day, it’s about inspiring a new generation of people to get involved in volunteering!
- Last year The Big Help Out reached over 100 million people through social media
- 1/3 of Brits heard about The Big Help Out and 70% of the seven million people who took part said they were more likely to volunteer again in the future
- 80% of those signing up said they had no prior relationship with the charity or group offering the opportunity they selected
- 40% had done no other volunteering the past year
- 1/3 said they went back to volunteer again with the same organisation after their initial activity
