Hundreds of thousands of volunteering opportunities hosted by over 1,500 charities have today been made available via the Big Help Out app. With just 50 days to go to the Big Help Out on the Bank Holiday Monday of the Coronation (May 8), the new app goes live today.
Members of the public are being encouraged to take part in volunteering on the day in their community - or to sign up for future opportunities via the app. People can search by their postcode, the type of activity they want to do and the organisation they would like to volunteer with. Hundreds of thousands more activities are expected to be added before the day.
The Big Help Out is a formal part of the Coronation celebrations, is supported by the Together Coalition and was devised by Britain’s leading charities - including household names like The Scouts, Royal Voluntary Service, Guide Dogs and thousands of smaller local groups.
