THE BIG LUNCH, HELP OUT & YOGA


This year, The Big Lunch and The Big Help Out are teaming up on 5-8 June for a weekend of friendship, food, fun and action – and everyone’s invited! 

It’s one big do – a chance to meet, eat and lend a hand locally in the UK’s biggest celebration of community.   

Big or small, what you do is up to you – a BBQ with the neighbours, a local litter pick or helping a good cause for the day – we can all do something!

THE BIG LUNCH

THE BIG HELP OUT

The Big Help Out started in 2023, encouraging people to have a go at volunteering, lend a hand and make a difference. Millions of people took part in 2023 and again in 2024, as charities offered simple opportunities for people to find out more and see what volunteering was all about.
